NGC 4755: A Jewel Box of Stars . ... Credit Copyright: Michael Bessell ( RSAA, ANU ), MSO Explanation: The great variety of star colors in this open cluster underlie its name: The Jewel Box . ... Open clusters are younger, contain few stars, and contain a much higher fraction of blue stars than do globular clusters. This Jewel Box lies about 7500 light-years away, so the light that we see today was emitted from the clusters before even the Great Pyramids in Egypt were built. ...
