Scorching radiation and fast winds (streams of charged particles) from super-hot newborn stars in the nebula are shaping and compressing the pillar

Star Cluster 47 Tucanae Material:Fabric Wall Mural about twice the distance fromThis bright cluster of stars is 47 Tucanae (NGC 104), shown here in an image taken by ESOs VISTA (Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy) from the Paranal Observatory in Chile. This cluster is located around 15 000 light years away from us and contains millions of stars, some of which are unusual and exotic. This image was taken as part of the VISTA Magellanic Cloud survey, a project that is scanning the region of the Magellanic Clouds,
