Open star clusters are valuable for astronomers as they allow for the study of stars that formed around the same time, aiding in understanding stellar evolution.
NASA has shared images of open star clusters in visible and infrared light captured by the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes, showcasing different aspects of the clusters.
The Pleiades cluster and more distant clusters like NGC 460 and NGC 456 are highlighted in the images.
The composite image created from overlapping observations from both telescopes reveals stunning details of the star clusters.
