A new image of NGC 602 combines data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the James Webb Space Telescope. The image shows a dark, ring-like shape around the cluster, made of dense dust clouds in orange, yellow, green, and blue, as seen by the Webb telescope. The green colors and soft, feathery edges of the ring make it resemble a wreath of evergreen branches. Red splashes, representing X-rays, add shading and highlight the different layers within the wreath-like cloud.
