The APOD that I chose for this week was a picture of the double cluster in Perseus. Both of these clusters are relatively young, at 13 million years old. Their similar ages most likely means that both clusters were birthed from the same region. The two clusters are also close, being just a couple hundred lightyears apart. What is also interesting about this image are the enormous clouds of hydrogen gas, that are shown here in red.
