NGC 6885 is a bright open star cluster located in the constellation of Scorpius. It is approximately 1,200 light-years away from Earth and contains several young, hot stars that are primarily blue in color. The cluster is estimated to be around 100 million years old. Discovered by John Herschel in 1834, NGC 6885 is also known as Melotte 180. It is a part of the Milky Way galaxy and can be observed with small telescopes. The cluster's stars are loosely bound by gravity, making it a fascinating object for amateur astronomers and astrophotographers.
