You might be wondering why I framed the DC so far from center. One of the reasons was to get the diagonal line (bottom left to upper right) of stars ending in two tiny little clusters. 

Too often we/me miss interesting beauty being too focused on the main target and miss fun and interesting things nearby!

The Double Cluster in Perseus is like a cosmic jewel box—two glittering groups of young stars hanging side by side in the night sky. Even without a telescope, you can spot them as a fuzzy patch between the constellations Perseus and Cassiopeia. Each cluster is packed with hundreds of massive, blue-white stars that burn incredibly bright, and they’re only about 14 million years old—practically newborns in cosmic terms. Astronomers think they were born from the same giant cloud of gas and dust, making them stellar siblings traveling through space together.

People have been admiring this duo for thousands of years. Ancient Greek stargazers saw them as part of Perseus’s sword, a gift from the gods to help him slay monsters. Today, they’re a favorite target for backyard astronomers and photographers, especially during the Perseid meteor shower in August, when shooting stars zip through the same part of the sky. It’s one of those rare sights that’s both scientifically fascinating and just plain beautiful.
