Open Star Cluster Messier 50 | Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope
While free of gas from its nascent molecular cloud, this relatively young cluster is still very rich in massive blue stars. The brightness of these stars dominates the cluster of the stars that were formed at once at the heart of a star forming region. The smaller, hence fainter, stars will however outlive them.
