“A Double Star Cluster in Perseus” is copyrighted by Greg Polanski. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Double Cluster in Perseus, NGC 869 and NGC 884, is bright enough to be seen without binoculars from a dark location. These open clusters are over 7,000 light-years distant. The Greek astronomer Hipparchus cataloged this unusual double cluster, though its discovery likely predates recorded history.
