NGC 2266: Old Cluster in the New General Catalog
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
The New General Catalog of star clusters and nebulae is not new, published in 1888 by J. L. E. Dreyer. It consolidated the work of astronomers like William, Caroline, and John Herschel into a useful, single catalog. Dreyer's work was successful and is still important today, lending its "NGC" to bright clusters, galaxies, and nebulae. Take, for example, this star cluster, NGC 2266.
