NGC 292 - Small Magellanic Cloud

NGC 292, located approximately 210,000 light-years away, is a bright star-forming region in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. This irregular galaxy contains numerous regions of intense star formation, along with a mix of gas, dust, and older stars. NGC 292 is important for studying the processes of star birth in low-mass galaxies and provides insights into the chemical evolution and dynamics of satellite galaxies in the Local Group
