Image of double Star Cluster NGC 1850 located in the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way Galaxy. NGC 1850 is representative of young, globular-like star clusters that have no counterpart in the Milky Way Galaxy. The two components of the cluster are both relatively young and consist of a main, globular like cluster in the center and a younger, smaller cluster seen below and to the right, composed of extremely hot, blue stars and fainter red T-Tauri stars. The main cluster is about 50 million years old, the smaller cluster only 4 million years old. NGC 1850 lies in the southern constellation of Dorado, the Goldfish, sometimes known as the Swordfish. Image was created from five archival exposures taken by Hubble Space Telescope's HST Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 WFPC2 between April 3, 1994 and February 6, 1996. Original number is STScI-PRC01-25. .
