This week NASA unveiled a new image of NGC 2264, also known as the "Christmas Tree Cluster," which resembles a Christmas tree outlined by the radiance of stellar lights. Positioned roughly 2,500 light-years away from Earth, the cluster comprises stars between one to five million years old and sizes both smaller and larger than our Sun. The composite image, made with imagery from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the National Science Foundation’s WIYN 0.9-meter telescope on Kitt Peak, was tailored to enhance its overall Christmas tree appearance, complete with blue and white flickering star light contrasted against the tree-shaped green gas formations.
