Christmas wishes NASA: Amazing 'Christmas tree cluster' seen in space, NASA shared the picture.
Christmas is being celebrated all over the world today. On this occasion, the space agency NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has shared a picture of a Christmas tree from space. It is known as NGC 2264, which is 2500 light years away from Earth. This is a group of stars, which looks exactly like a Christmas tree. It is also called the Christmas T Cluster.
This new image of NGC 2264 shows a cosmic tree shape with glowing starlight. NGC 2264 is, in fact, a cluster of young stars, aged between about one and five million years. It is in our galaxy, about 2,500 light-years from Earth. The stars in NGC 2264 are both smaller and larger than the Sun.

Last Christmas, @ChandraXray gave us a cluster of stars. This year, new telescope views (combined with Chandra data) gave us something special: https://t.co/9IoeaF1u38 pic.twitter.com/sEN8caWO0W

hand-like shape in the galaxy
This is not the first time NASA has sent pictures from space. Last year too, NASA shared a picture of a tree cluster on Christmas. Apart from this, some time ago, the space agency shared a picture of a hand-like shape in the Milky Way. It is being told that that picture was of the remaining part of a star, which had ended about 1500 years ago.
Christmas is celebrated with great pomp.
Let us tell you that Christmas is celebrated with great pomp all over the world. This festival has a very special significance in Christianity.
