Description:
This is NGC 7789, one of the richest open star clusters in the Milky Way and goes by Caroline’s Rose cluster named after its discoverer, Caroline Herschel in 1783 (sister of William Herschel). Under dark skies the loops of stars and dark lanes resemble the swirling pattern when looking down on rose petals. It also goes by Caroline’s Haystack and the White Rose Cluster.
