Jewel Box (K Crucis cluster)
-NGC 4755- |
|
| |
Cruxis the smallest of all the constellations,
and it is known not only for the Southern Cross,
but also for this beautiful stellar cluster, famous
under the appropriate name of the Jewel Box. The
cluster is young and contains several blue supergiants,
like K Crusis itself, and also a number of more
evolved red supergiants. When viewed through a small
telescope, it is an impressive cluster of differently
coloured stars, and it is also dimly visible to
the naked eye. |
