IC 3003
IC 3003 is a bright open cluster located in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It is part of the Milky Way galaxy and is known for its relatively young age, estimated to be around 100 million years. The cluster contains several hot, blue stars that are more massive than the Sun, contributing to its luminosity.
This cluster is often studied by astronomers to understand stellar formation and evolution. Its proximity to Earth, at about 6,000 light-years away, makes it an accessible target for both amateur and professional astronomers. Observations of IC 3003 can provide insights into the dynamics of star clusters.
