INTRODUCTION AND REPRESENTATION NGC 2270 is an open cluster located in the constellation Unicorn [The genitive form of Monoceros, used in star names, is Monocerotis.], and was first identified by William Herschel, a German-British astronomer, in 1786. The cluster is estimated to be located around 1,400 parsecs (approximately 4,570 light-years) away from our solar system. […]

It has a very low central concentration of stars. This cluster was discovered by James Dunlop on May 28, 1826 and listed in his 1827 catalogue. He described it as “a pretty large pretty bright round nebula, 4Ⲡor 5Ⲡdiameter, very gradually condensed towards […]

It is a relatively young cluster, estimated to be around 40 million years old, and contains several dozen stars. The cluster is located at a distance of about 3,000 light-years from Earth and has a visual magnitude of 7.2, which means it is […]
