The double cluster in the constellation Perseus, normally known by its Greek designation transliterated. chi Persei (NGC884, on the left) and h Persei (NGC869) are about 7000 light - years away and less than 100 light - years apart. Although open clusters are quite common, this pair is exceptional due to the large number of young bright O and B stars in each, and their closeness / Bridgeman Images

PIX4567854: 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 / Bridgeman Images

PIX4567932: Open cluster M35 and NGC 2158 in Gemeaux - Open clusters M35 and NGC 2158 in Gemini - Open cluster M35 (NGC 2168) is visible to the naked eye under good conditions. NGC 2158, lower right, is weaker and is only observed at the telescope. M35 is about 2800 years of light from Earth and is about 110 million years old. M35 (NGC 2168), at left here, is a spectacular large open cluster containing about 200 stars located in Gemini. Shining at magnitude 5, it is visible to the unaided eye off the foot of Gemini. It is accompanied by a jewel - like smaller companion, open cluster NGC 2158, seen at the lower right of the photo. The smaller cluster is easily resolved in the Astro - Physic's 130 EDT refractor, but many people mistake it for a comet when they observe M35 if they have not seen it before and are not familiar with it / Bridgeman Images

PIX4579217: Total Eclipse of Moon 27 - 09 - 1996 - Total lunar eclipse September 27, 1996 - This montage illustrates the progression of the Moon in Earth's shadow cone. The image on the right corresponds to its complete entry into the shadow (beginning of the totalite), the central at the maximum of the totalite and the one on the left at the end of the totalite. During this eclipse, the southern pole of the Moon is passing a little above the center of the Earth's shadow cone. Thus, the southern pole of the Moon is the darkest, while the north pole is brighter. Note the color degrade for the right and left poses: from dark red towards the center of the shadow cone to white on the periphery of this cone, with an intermediate greenish orange degrade. This highlights the fact that blue is more diffuse than green by the Earth's atmosphere - hence the absence of blue on the image, because this color is lost in the Earth's atmosphere and therefore does not reach the surface of the Moon - and that green is more diffuse than red - or the absence of green in the heart of the shadow cone for the same reason as blue. This composite illustrates the Moon's progress in the Earth's shadow cone. The right picture corresponds to the complete entry in the shadow (beginning of the totality), the middle one to the maximum of the totality and the left one to the total's end. During this eclipse, the Moon's South Pole (the Moon's bottom in this picture) has pass a little above the Earth's shadow center. Then, the South Pole is darker than the North one (the upper part of the Moon). Notice the color gradient in the left and right exposures: from deep red toward the center of the shadow to the white in the shadow's outskirt, with intermediate orange greenish tints. It show that the blue is more scattered by the Earth's atmosphere than green, and that green is more scattered than red / Bridgeman Images
