The Double Cluster is a pair of open star clusters located in the constellation of Perseus. Known as NGC 869 and NGC 884, these clusters are approximately 7,500 light-years away from Earth. They are visible to the naked eye and can be found near the bright star Mirfak.
Each cluster contains hundreds of stars, many of which are young and hot. The Double Cluster is a popular target for amateur astronomers and is often observed through telescopes. Its stunning appearance showcases the beauty of star formation in our galaxy, the Milky Way.
