The
Double Cluster in Perseus
These are
two great clusters of youthful suns about 7,000 light-years
away. Each of their hundreds of giant blue-white stars is
hundreds or thousands of times brighter than our sun.
This was
made with my 92mm refractor. I find that photographs are not
good at capturing the spangly majesty of most open star
clusters. The dots on your monitor don't simulate the intense
pointiness of real stars very well. They should be seen through
a telescope.
