A composite X-ray (purple), optical (red/green/blue), and UV (blue) image of the newly discovered Phoenix Cluster. This galaxy cluster has been dubbed the Phoenix Cluster because it is located in the constellation of the Phoenix, and because new stars are forming there at the highest rate ever observed in a cluster.
