Was known as the Owl Cluster until 20 years ago when it was renamed the ET Cluster. (due to its resemblance to the movie character) The cluster features a rich field of about 150 stars of magnitudes 12-15.[2] It lies over 7,900 light years away from the Sun. It has an estimated age of 21 million years.
