NGC_6603 is a bright open cluster located in the constellation of Scorpius. It is approximately 2,000 light-years away from Earth and contains several hundred stars. The cluster is notable for its relatively young age, estimated to be around 10 million years. Discovered by John Herschel in 1834, NGC 6603 is often studied for its stellar population and dynamics. The cluster is part of a larger region rich in star formation, making it an interesting target for astronomers exploring the life cycles of stars.
