Chandra Captures A Cradle of Galaxies: HCG62

ackthpt writes "The Chandra X-ray telescope has captured images of HCG 62 (at Harvard's Chandra Page), a compact group of galaxies. (see the related CNN article). Too bright for optical telescopes, but right up Chandra's resume, the formation is described as an early stage of galactic development. The Milky Way, Andromeda and the Magellanic Clouds, known as the Local Group are an older formation."
