“Open Cluster NGC 6520 from CFHT” is copyrighted by Jean-Charles Cuillandre. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteDid you ever have a day when it felt like a dark cloud was following you around? For the open cluster of stars NGC 6520, every day is like this. On the left are many of NGC 6520's bright blue stars, formed only millions of years ago. On the right is Barnard 86, the molecular cloud from which the stars of NGC 6520 surely formed.
