Two images of NGC 346 side-by-side. The left image shows NGC 346 in visible light, with the cluster of white stars shining against blue nebulosity. The right image shows it in ultraviolet light, with a grouping of large, glowing, and purplish stars dominating the image’s center. Dark ridges of gas and dust are visible around them, with more background stars crowding the view. White text above both images reads “SMC - NGC 346”.
