In this image from the Spitzer and Chandra Space telescopes released by NASA on September 13, 2007, shows the Corona Australis region (containing, at its heart, the Coronet cluster) containing a loose cluster of a few dozen young stars with a wide range of masses and at various stages of evolution, giving astronomers an opportunity to observe embryonic stars simultaneously in several wavelengths. This composite image shows the Coronet in X-rays from Chandra (purple) and infrared from Spitzer (orange, green, and cyan). The Spitzer data show young stars plus diffuse emission from dust
