Double Cluster

A pair of star clusters, collectively known as the Double Cluster, shines from the constellation Perseus. Known individually as NGC 884 and NGC 869, the clusters are about 7,500 light-years from Earth. They’re especially bright because they are quite young, so they still contain some especially vigorous young stars. [Genuson/Wikipedia]
