Description

NGC 206

Located in one of the spiral arms of the Andromeda Galaxy is the largest know star forming region in the local group of galaxies. A relative young cluster containing hundreds of O and B class stars, and many lower mass stars.

I would always notice it in pictures of the Andromeda Galaxy. Bet it's quite a sight from closer in the galaxy.
