These Spitzer Space Telescope infrared images, released January 9, 2006, show 14 massive stars on the verge of exploding as supernovae. These hefty stars reside in one of the most massive star clusters in the Milky Way Galaxy, which scientists on Monday said is warped -- like a bowl, a saddle or the brim of a fedora hat, depending on when you look. The bluish cluster is inside the white box in the large image, which shows the star-studded region around it. A close-up of the cluster can be seen in the inset photo.
