NGC 884 (Chi Persei)

The Double Cluster (also known as Caldwell 14) is the common name for the naked-eye open clusters NGC 869 and NGC 884 constellation Perseus. NGC 869 and NGC 884 both lie at a distance of 7500 light years

 

 

The stars in these in this lovely cluster are young, hot supergiant suns that are many thousands of times more luminous than our sun.
