NGC 4680
NGC 4680 is a bright open star cluster located in the constellation of Centaurus. It was discovered by the astronomer John Herschel in 1834 and is approximately 1,500 light-years away from Earth. The cluster contains several young, hot stars that are still in the process of forming.
This star cluster is notable for its relatively high concentration of stars within a small area, making it an interesting subject for astronomers studying stellar formation and evolution. Observations of NGC 4680 can provide insights into the dynamics and life cycles of stars in open clusters.
