As 2025 wraps up like a cosmic gift, the James Webb Space Telescope just dropped its final stunner: Westerlund 2, a glittering star cluster exploding with newborn stars, brown dwarfs, and planet-forming chaos, all nestled in a fiery nebula 20,000 light-years away. It's like Hubble's anniversary pic on steroids—Webb's infrared eyes pierce the dust to reveal secrets we never knew were there. Massive stars sculpting flames from gas, faint lights of baby stars emerging… this isn't just an image, it's a window into the universe's wild nursery. Feels like the perfect, awe-inspiring send-off to the year, reminding us there's always more to discover. Dive deeper into this glittering farewell and what it means for astronomy—check out the full breakdown here: Who's ready for 2026's space surprises? Tag a stargazer friend!

[Lại đú trend] Đây là cái đống sao tên là Westerlund 2 đã hai chẹo năm tuổi được Kính viễn vọng không gian Hubble của Nasa chụp vào ngày 30/11/2014, đẹp rực rỡ tráng lệ quá phải không quý zị 😌💫 Đội ơn Nasa đã cho em biết ngày sinh của em có sự kiện này, sẵn nhắc khéo em chúc mừng sinh nhật cái kính Hubble 25 chủi ahihi 🥳 #westerlund2 #nasa #25thanniversarynasahubblespacetelescope #whatdidhubbleseeonyourbirthday #sagittarius https://www.instagram.com/p/B-eduOuJW0N/?igshid=107ezbbas9dlz

Esta imagem obtida pelo Hubble mostra o aglomerado estelar Westerlund 2. Suas estrelas já limparam a maior parte do gás e da poeira que sobraram de sua formação. This picture taken by the Hubble telescope shows Westerlund 2 star cluster. The stars already cleaned the most of the gas and dust that remained from its formation.
