Hubble & Webb Views of Young Star Cluster NGC 602 in Hydrus

This video features two views of the young star cluster NGC 602. It resides near the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy roughly 200,000 light-years from Earth.

The first image shows the cluster as seen by the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope that was published in 2017. 

The image on the right shows a new image of NGC 602 as seen by the NASA/European Space Agency/Canadian Space Agency James Webb Space Telescope.
