Posted: Wednesday, July 11, 2001
(CNN) A prominent double cluster in a nearby galaxy, captured in stunning detail by the Hubble Space Telescope, represents a kind of object unlike anything in our own Milky Way galaxy.

The cosmic oddity, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy to the Milky Way, is the star attraction in a new Hubble image released by international scientists on Tuesday.
