It is likely that large amounts of dust between the dying star and Earth dimmed the brightness of the explosion to the point that it was barely

It is the remnant of a supernova explosion at a distance of about 6

The star cluster, known as NGC 3293, would have been just a cloud of gas and dust itself about ten million years ago, but as stars began to form it became the bright group we see here. Clusters like this are celestial laboratories that allow
