NGC 6702 is an open star cluster located in the constellation of Lyra. It was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1788. This cluster is approximately 1,200 light-years away from Earth and contains several young stars that are still in the process of forming. The cluster is relatively small, with an estimated diameter of about 10 light-years. NGC 6702 is notable for its bright stars, which are often studied to understand stellar evolution. Observations of this cluster contribute to our knowledge of how stars interact and evolve within a group.
