Comment: |
M11 is very dense and rich open cluster. It contains about 2900 stars. Stars of the Wild Duck Cluster are mostly young, hot blue ones, but there are also some yellow and red giants. All of the stars of M11 were formed together, from the same cloud of interstellar matter some 250 million years ago. M11 is 6000 ly distant. |
