NGC 261 contains stars hot enough to cause hydrogen gas to emit a pink-red glow. The region holds dense molecular clouds, where stars form, cradled in cold areas of molecular hydrogen.

NGC 346 is located in the Small Magellanic Cloud, near the Milky Way. Hot stars in this cluster release radiation and outflows, eroding gas and dust in the surrounding nebula, N66.

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) contains NGC 1898, a globular cluster of stars. This cluster serves as a natural lab for studying star formation, being one of the oldest objects in the universe.

The Tucana Dwarf galaxy, at the edge of the Local Group, is one of the most distant galaxies near the Milky Way. Smaller and dimmer, it serves as a cosmic fossil due to its isolated older stars.
