Summary

Description
English: This image is a false-color image of the young star cluster NGC 2547 in the constellation of Vela. The star cluster contains the massive star HD 68478, which is located near the middle of the image and shows a shell, which could be a sign of a recent mass loss. The star cluster NGC 2547 is with an age of about 30 million years still young on astronomical timescales and still contains stars with dusty circumstellar disk in which planets could still be in the process of forming.

The image was taken with the IRAC and MIPS instrument on board of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.

This image uses the 4.5 micron filter image for blue, the 8.0 micron filter image for green and the 24 micron filter image for red.

The images were downloaded from the NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive, which is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and operated by the California Institute of Technology.
