COSMIC MESSAGE

Messier 67, one of the oldest known open star clusters, is gathered at the center of this sharp skyview. Its stars are about 4 billion years old, similar in age and elemental composition to our Sun. Open clusters typically disperse over time due to gravitational interactions, making M67's longevity unusual. It provides a valuable snapshot of an ancient stellar population.
