Star Cluster NGC 1872 in Dorado - Star Cluster NGC 1872 in Dorado - The NGC 1872 cluster is located in the galaxy of the Great Magellan Cloud. It is a cluster of globular shape, but young, composed of warm, blue stars. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. This Hubble Space Telescope picture shows NGC 1872, a rich cluster of thousands of stars lying in our small neighbouring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. This little - studied cluster is located in the constellation of Dorado. The Scottish astronomer James Dunlop was probably the first to spot NGC 1872 in 1826 with a small telescope near Sydney in Australia. Star clusters are usually classed as either open or globular but NGC 1872 has characteristics of both - - it is as rich as a typical globular but is much younger, and, like many open clusters, has bluer stars. Such intermediate clusters are common in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Open cluster M44 in cancer - Open star cluster M44 in Cancer - M44 is a cluster of stars located 577 years - light from Earth, in the constellation Cancer. M44, the Praesepe or Beehive, is an open cluster located about halfway between Gemini and Leo. It is an easy naked eye object more than twice the size across the full moon. Galileo first observed it in a telescope as a collection of about 40 stars, and today's modern large telescopes reveal about 350 stars. M44 is about 577 light years away, and is about 400 million years old, the same age as the Hyades cluster

M44, the Praesepe or Beehive, is an open cluster located about halfway between Gemini and Leo. It is an easy naked eye object more than twice the size across the full moon. Galileo first observed it in a telescope as a collection of about 40 stars, and today's modern large telescopes reveal about 350 stars. M44 is about 577 light years away, and is about 400 million years old, the same age as the Hyades cluster
