This open cluster of stars lies near outskirts of the small Magellanic Cloud, some 200K lightyears away. This relatively young cluster (~5 millions years) of stars is surrounded by the natal gases and material that remains of the stellar nursery that formed these stars.

As a bonus, an assortment of galaxies can be seen in the background.
