Stunning image of the Double Cluster (NGC 869 & NGC 884) in the Perseus constellation. These two open star clusters, easily visible with binoculars, are only a few hundred light-years apart and share a similar age, suggesting a common origin. Cataloged by Hipparchus in 130 BC, they are a breathtaking sight from dark skies, showcasing a rich tapestry of young, hot stars against the backdrop of the cosmos.
