“The Double Cluster” is copyrighted by Neil Fleming. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe northern constellation Perseus holds a famous pair of open star clusters, h and Chi Persei, also known as NGC 869 and NGC 884. Both clusters are about 7,000 light-years away and contain stars much younger and hotter than the Sun. Their similar ages suggest they formed from the same star-forming region.
