COSMIC MESSAGE
The Perseus double cluster, NGC 869 and NGC 884, is a pair of open star clusters. These clusters are bright enough to be seen with the unaided eye from a dark location. They sit over 7,000 light years away in the constellation Perseus. The Greek astronomer Hipparcos cataloged them, though their discovery likely predates written history.
