This Is The Velvet Star Cluster!

This is the Velvet Star Cluster! 💜💜💜

Not only does this photo contain a large cluster of around 500 stars, but it also contains a beautiful planetary nebula named NGC 2438! There might even be a tail of stars due to gravitational interactions in the past 💫💫💫

Taken by me (Michelle Park) using the Slooh Canary Two telescope on September 17th, 2020 at 9:22 UTC.
