Recent estimates place #M52 at ~5400 ly. The cluster our camera captured is the one that existed in the 34th century BCE. Had we been there with a powerful telescope aimed at Mesopotamia, we might have seen the first scribes pressing protocuneiform signs into clay... unknowingly inventing writing!
The M52 The Scorpion cluster. - telescope processed image. M52, the Scorpion Cluster, is a rich, condensed open star cluster in Cassiopeia. It contains \approx200 stars and lies \approx5,000 light-years away.
The M52 The Scorpion cluster - unprocessed image. M52 is nicknamed the Scorpion Cluster and has a very high number of variable stars, including pulsating B, Delta Scuti, and eclipsing binary stars.

A stunning telescopic view of Comet Lemmon fading as it journeys toward the outer solar system. The image showcases the comet's greenish coma alongside the rich starfields of Cassiopeia, including the open star cluster M52 and the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635). A satellite streak is also visible, adding to the celestial scene.

A stunning image showcasing the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) and the open star cluster M52. The Bubble Nebula, a 10 light-year wide cosmic bubble blown by a massive star, contrasts beautifully with the much larger, 25 light-year wide M52 cluster containing thousands of stars. Both celestial objects reside in Cassiopeia and are captured against a rich backdrop of stars and interstellar gas, creating a mesmerizing deep-space scene.

A breathtaking widefield view showcasing the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635), a delicate cosmic bubble nestled amongst a sea of stars and glowing gas. Located approximately 11,000 light-years away, the image also captures the open star cluster M52 in the upper left. This vibrant image, composed from photographic plates taken at the Palomar Observatory, spans about 2.7 degrees across the sky.
