In this #HubbleClassic image, massive stars dazzle brightly. Near the centre is the brightest star, WR 25. Just above it to the left is the neighbouring star Tr16-244, while to the left of WR 25 is a low-mass star closer to Earth. WR 25 and Tr16-244 are located deep in the Karina Nebula, about 7,500 light-years away. This nebula is known as a region filled with gas and dust where stars are born.

When I looked at the image, I also saw it as ships placed in a game of admiral sinking. What do you see?
