Distance 2600-2900 light-years. Estimated age 3.2 to 5 billion years.Jul 10, 2025 M44 - The Beehive Cluster412 viewsOpen cluster in the constellation Cancer. Around 600 light-years distant and 600 million years old.Jul 10, 2025 M41 - Little Beehive Cluster412 viewsOpen cluster in Canis Major, 2360 light-years from Earth.Jul 10, 2025 M14 - Globular cluster in Ophiuchus407 viewsAlso known as NGC 6402. 30,000 light-years distant. Contains several hundred thousand stars.Jul 10, 2025 Messier 12, Globular Cluster in Ophiuchus396 viewsAbout 16,400 light years from Earth; diameter about 75 light-years. It is loosely packed and has an unusually small number of low-mass stars.Aug 07, 2024 M23 - Open Cluster in Sagittarius437 viewsIn front of an extensive gas and dust network. Around 300 million years old and 2050 light-years away.Nov 17, 2023 NGC869 and NGC884 - The Double Cluster in Perseus450 viewsOpen clusters - NGC869 is center/bottom, 7460 light-years away; NGC884, top, 7640 light-years awayNov 17, 2023 Messier 7 - Ptolemy's Cluster468 viewsAn open cluster of stars in the constellation Scorpius. Southernmost Messier object. 980 light years distant. Also designated NGC 6475.Nov 17, 2023 M45 - The Pleiades471 viewsOpen star cluster in the constellation Taurus. Nearest Messier object to Earth (444 light-years).Sep 26, 2023 M11 - The Wild Duck Cluster458 viewsOne of the richest, most compact and most massive open clusters known; estimates range from 3,700 to 11,000 solar masses. Radius 95 light-years. 6,120 light-years away, in the constellation Scutum. Supposedly the cluster resembles a flying flock of ducks, although as far as I can tell it could just as well be geese, crows or magpies.Aug 02, 2022 NGC 5139 - Omega Centauri Cluster455 viewsGlobular cluster in Centaurus, 17,090 light-years away. The largest-known globular cluster in the Milky Way, estimated to contain approximately 10 million stars, and a total mass equivalent to 4 million solar masses.May 13, 2022 M15 - Globular cluster in Pegasus430 viewsContaining over 100,000 stars, 175 light-years in diameter, 33,600 light years from Earth. This is one of the oldest (12 billion years) and most densely packed globulars in the Milky Way.Sep 14, 2020 22 files on 2 page(s) 1 2 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 9f5b7bfbb210ccf09f2f8829538cf974 [am] => 1 ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (86.17 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.53 ms) [2] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.9 ms) [3] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.3 ms) [4] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.17 ms) [5] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.65 ms) [6] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.89 ms) [7] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2025-12-01 04:27:52' [include/init.inc.php:448] (10.29 ms) [8] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.55' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (1.71 ms) [9] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.19 ms) [10] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 11 [thumbnails.php:136] (0.56 ms) [11] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 13 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.21 ms) [12] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 11) AND (1 OR keywords like '%27telp%') AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1614] (80.4 ms) [13] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 11) AND (1 OR keywords like '%27telp%') AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' ORDER BY ctime DESC, pid DESC LIMIT 0 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1630] (8 ms) [14] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.61 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => lastup [cat] => -11 [page] => 1 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( ) ==========================
