(X-ray: NASA/CXC/Northwestern/F.Zadeh et al. IR: NASA/HST/NICMOS, Radio: NRAO/AUI/NSF/C.Lang) The Arches Cluster is a cluster of young stars located in the central region of the Milky Way Galaxy about 26,000 light years from Earth. The Chandra observation shows an envelope of 60 million degree gas around the star cluster which is thought to be due to collisions of the winds from numerous stars. Arches Cluster Photo Album Page |
