NASA APOD · John Chumack
COSMIC MESSAGE
Is this a star cluster or an asterism? This object, visible with binoculars, is known as Collinder 399, or 'The Coat Hanger'. Astronomers debated for decades whether it was a physically associated open cluster or a chance projection of stars. Recent precise measurements show differing angular shifts, indicating it is an asterism, not a true cluster.
