a very large star cluster in the middle of a sky filled with stars

Trumpler 14 Caption: Resembling an opulent diamond tapestry, this image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows a glittering star cluster that contains a collection of some of the brightest stars seen in our Milky Way galaxy. Called Trumpler 14, it is located 8,000 light-years away in the Carina Nebula, a huge star-formation region. Credits: NASA, ESA, and J.
