MALIGAYANG PASKO FROM SPACE! 🎄
About 2,500 light-years away from Earth, the NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory found this cluster of young stars, called the Christmas Tree Cluster.
“They’re surrounded by a nebula of gas observed by other telescopes, shown here in green, giving this cluster (officially known as NGC 2264) its memorable nickname,” NASA wrote in a post.
