Super star clusters and super nebulae in the nearby dwarf galaxy NGC
4214. Star clusters reddened and dimmed by intervening clouds of dust
appear red in this photo, which is based on an infrared image made at
the Keck Telescope. The infrared image is superimposed on a Hubble Space
Telescope image, with visible star clusters are shown in blue and
glowing hot clouds of gas in green. The hidden supernebulae revealed in
the radiographs from the Very Large Array appear as black dots. These
are young super star clusters that are in the process of forming.
