This is The Snowflake Cluster
This is the Christmas Tree ClusterBoth are located in the Monoceros Constellation, about 800 parsecs or 2600 light-years from Earth.
The stars in the Snowflake Cluster are only about 100,000 years old - in stellar terms, just babies. Eventually they will drift away, breaking up the snowflake pattern.
So enjoy it now!
