Description

Here we see two open star clusters, my intention with this framework was to highlight the difference between the density of these clusters. One of them has stars well spaced between them, while the other is much more compact.

we can also notice a faint background of ionized hydrogen.

also I'm immensely grateful to my friend Lucas Gonçalves Miranda for editing this image.
