Pretty! Reminds me of a certain other cluster recently in the news. :-)

Hi,
This is an image of NGC 4755, also known as the Jewel Box Cluster. It is an
open cluster about 6,400 light years away in the constellation Crux. This
cluster contains about 100 stars and is estimated to be about 10 million
years old. While most of the stars in the cluster are blue, a bright red
super giant can be seen near the center of the cluster.
Comments and suggestions welcomed.
