APOD 3.2


This cluster, found in Perseus, contains starts much younger and hotter than the sun. You can see the Double Cluser with your naked eye, but it has to be very dark for you to do so. This picture, similar to my last APOD, illustrates the immensity and complexity of the universe, and is beautiful to look at. These things are what make Astronomy interesting in general for me, and I'm a visual learner, so looking at pictures helps me to contextualize things much better than hearing or reading about them.
