| The Perseus Double Cluster is an easy naked eye object and appears as a little cloud in a dark sky. It resolves into a multiple of stars, even in a modest telescope. Found in the constellation of Perseus, these two clusters are 7,000 LY from Earth. They are seperated by several hundred light years and are just over 3 million years old. |
