NASA and ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope has peered into a fascinating cluster of stars located towards the center of our Milky Way. Known as the Quintuplet Cluster, this region had been hard to observe until now, owing to its position just 100 light-years from the center of the galaxy, 25,000 light-years from Earth.
