Explanation:
A picturesque chain of unrelated stars is visible with
strong binoculars towards the constellation of
Camelopardalis.
Known as
Kemble's Cascade, the
asterism contains about 20
stars nearly in a row stretching
over five times the width of a
full moon.
Made popular by astronomy enthusiast
Lucian Kemble (1922-1999),
these stars appear as a string only from our direction in the
Milky Way Galaxy.
The above photograph of
Kemble's Cascade was made with a small telescope in
New Mexico,
USA.
The bright object near the bottom left is the relatively compact
open cluster of stars known as
NGC 1502.
