A star is born and 11 other images of the day from NASA

Here’s 12 incredible images from the astronauts at America’s space agency.

AN IMAGE OF young, blue star clusters being formed over 11 million light years away was featured by NASA as its picture of the day yesterday (article image).

It caught our attention – as it probably should given it gives us a glimpse into regions normally obscured by major dust – and inspired us to contemplate the astounding sights and events that the space agency’s satellites and astronauts catch every day.

TheJournal.ie has picked out 11 other amazing images that feature in NASA’s gallery. Sit back and take a few minutes to get lost in the absolute enormity of the universe and realisations of how minuscule the space we inhabit actually is.
