Star cluster Trumpler 14,X-ray image
Star cluster Trumpler 14,Chandra X-ray telescope image. This is a cluster of very hot,massive stars (blue and white) and hot gas (pink). The gas is heated as high-speed stellar winds from the stars smash into it,causing shock waves. The shock waves heat the gas to millions of degrees,causing it to emit X-rays. These huge stars are only around a million years old. They will live rapid lives: most of them will explode as supernovae in a few million years. By comparison,our Sun will have a life of some 10 billion years. Trumpler 14 contains around 1600 stars,and lies 9000 light years from Earth in the constellation Carina.
