Description

Like diamonds in the sand

The Ptolemy Cluster seems like that: as you walk on a beach with a darker sand then you are luck to find a bunch of shiny diamonds.

But in reality, all that sand are: stars, hundreds, thousands, millions of stars!

This charmy cluster is located in Scorpius, is 980ly away from us. As background the rich field of our galaxy center, mergede with dark dust lanes that blocks light from stars behind.
