NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a star-studded image of a small region, in a dwarf galaxy called Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The highlight of the picture is an open star cluster known as NGC 376. It has a mass of about 3,400 times that of the Sun. SMC, which lies 200,000 light years from Earth, is one of the Milky Way's closest neighbors.
