PIX4568412: Open cluster M11 in the ecu de sobieski - M11 open cluster in Scutum - M11, NGC 6705, is an open cluster especially compact and rich in stars (about 3000), located in the constellation Ecu de Sobieski. M11 is one of the most condensed open clusters in the sky. An intriguing and tantalizing sight in binoculars, it is wonderful in a telescope, and is many observer's favorite open cluster. Located in the constellation of Scutum, it is sometimes mistaken for a loose globular cluster. M11 is also called the “” Wild Duck Cluster”” because of it's resemblance to a flight of wild ducks when viewed in a telescope. M11, with an overall brightness of magnitude 5.8, contains as many as 500 stars ranging from 8th magnitude down to 14th magnitude / Bridgeman Images

PIX4568852: Open Cluster of Pleiades - The Pleiades star cluster - The Pleiades cluster is a cluster of about 500 young stars nees 150 million years ago. Visible in the constellation Taurus, this cluster is 440 years from the Earth. The Pleiades are one of the finest and nearest examples of a reflection nebula associated with a cluster of young stars. The cluster itself is a group of many hundreds of stars about 400 light years from Earth in the northern constellation of Taurus and has been recognised since ancient times. Seven of the brightest stars are quite easy to see with the unaided eye and bear the names of the Seven Sisters, the daughters of Atlas. The nebulosity seen here is light reflected from the particles in a cloud of cold gas and dust into which the cluster has drifted. It appears blue because these tiny interstellar particles scatter blue light more efficiently than the longer wavelengths of red light and it is streaky because of the distribution of dust particles in space / Bridgeman Images

PIX4568008: Open cluster M47 in Puppis - Open star cluster M47 in Puppis - M47 (NGC 2422) is a cluster located about 1600 years ago - light that contains about fifty stars. M47 (NGC 2422) is an open cluster in the constellation Puppis, and was known to several observers before being independently discovered by Messier. A coarse bright cluster of some 50 stars, it can be seen by the suitably primed naked eye at a good dark location, as a dim fuzzy spot. About 1600 light - years away, it is spread over an area about that of the full moon (30 arc minutes across), or some 14 light - years linearly / Bridgeman Images

PIX4568254: Open cluster NGC 4755 - Jewel box - The Jewel Box cluster - The NGC 4755 cluster is located in the constellation of the Southern Cross at a distance of 7800 years - light from Earth. The bright orange star is Kappa Crucis, a supergiant red star. This cluster contains about fifty stars formed about 14 million years ago. NGC4755 (Caldwell 94) is called the Jewel Box, based on John Herschel's comment in the 1830's that it looked like a superb piece of jewelry. There are about 50 stars in this cluster which formed some 14 million years ago. Most of the cluster members are blue giants which in a few million years will exhaust their hydrogen fuel and become red giants on their way to a cataclysmic end as supernovae. One red giant can already be seen at the center of the cluster / Bridgeman Images
PIX4568290: Open cluster NGC 6231 in Scorpio - Open star cluster NGC 6231 in Scorpius - NGC 6231 is a cluster of stars very young, about eight million years old.
