This picture is of M7, an open star cluster in the constellation Scorpius. M7 contains about 100 stars that are mostly blue and is about 200 million years old. The cluster spans across 25 light years. What really interested me in this picture were the incredible amount of stars that you could see in the background of the picture. These millions of stars are part of a dark dust cloud toward the center if our galaxy.
