Le Cœur et l'Âme · Photograph by the author · 3h 47m of exposure, DwarfLab DWARF 3
A cluster like this can trigger star formation when it crosses the disc of the Milky Way: NGC 6760 is thought to have given birth in this way, 64.5 million years ago, to two open clusters, Ruprecht 127 and VdB 202. In the photo, its pinkish ball with a brighter core stands out at the centre of a dense field, its edges breaking up into stars.
