Star Cluster Bursts in NGC 3603

In the spirit of the Fourth of July fireworks that many will be watching tonight, I thought this image appropriate.

The image was released on October 2, 2007 and shows the star-forming region in the Carina arm of the Milky way, called NGC 3603. Head over to the Hubble site for more versions of the image above.

Enjoy the fireworks and be safe!
