The whole lifecycle of a star has been captured in a new image taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.
The new image gives astronomers a fantastic new view of the life cycle of stars and allows them to study all the different stages of star formation in a single environment. The image is from the Small Magellanic Cloud some 200,000 light years away.
The image, taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, shows the Small Magellanic Cloud and gives astronomers an opportunity to study the entire life cycle of stars up close, as well as the different environments in which stars form.
