NGC 1027 is an open star cluster located in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1787. This cluster is approximately 1,200 light-years away from Earth and contains several bright stars that are relatively young, with ages estimated around 100 million years. The cluster spans about 20 light-years in diameter and is part of a larger group of stars that share a common origin. NGC 1027 is often studied for its stellar dynamics and the formation of stars, making it an interesting object for astronomers and astrophysicists alike.
