Evidence is that a South European Observatory telescope (ESO) in Chile captured images of several new Milky Way faces, picturing at the cluster of NGC 2547 , according to Space.com leading the announcement. Press from the above organization.

If the Sun is considered to be 40 years old, the stars of NGC 2547 are 3 months old, according to experts.

Star clusters like NCG 2547 are usually short-lived, a few hundred million years before they decay and push stars away.

NGC 2547 is located in the constellation Bo Phoi, about 1,500 light-years from Earth, and can be observed with binoculars.
