 Open Cluster M25 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Open Cluster M25 (also known as Messier Object 25 or IC 4725) is an open cluster in the constellation Sagittarius.
M25 is at a distance of about 2,000 light-years away from Earth.
The spatial dimension of this cluster is about 19 light years across.

 Open Star Clusters
Open clusters are physically related groups of stars held together by mutual gravitational attraction.
The first open clusters have been known since prehistoric times: The Pleiades (M45), the Hyades and the Beehive or Praesepe (M44) are the most prominent examples, but Ptolemy had also mentioned M7 and the Coma Star Cluster (Mel 111) as early as 138 AD.
All the diffuse nebulae in Messier's catalog are associated with open clusters of young stars which have formed of the nebula's material in (astronomically) very recent times, and are still formed today in many cases.

M11 is described as an "exceptional" open cluster bordering the northern edge of the star clouds in Scutum.
The cluster is visible by the naked eye as a "fuzzy star", but requires a 4 inch scope to resolve individual stars.
M26 is a small and condensed open cluster of about 100 total members, 25 of which are easily visible in a small telescope.

 M 25   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
It was discovered by J.B. Irwin in 1956, its membership was confirmed by radial velocity measurements conducted by M.W. Feast of Radcliffs Observatory (the common RV of the cluster members is +4 km/sec).
The occurrence of the Cepheid is consistent with the fact that it is not a very young cluster, its age may be about 90 million years (the Sky Catalog 2000 gives 89 million).
Messier observed M25 on June 20th, 1746 "Cluster of faint stars near the two preceding ones (M23 and M24), between the head and the tip of the bow of Sagittarius." Charles Messier

 Messier Object 25
Eventually, M25 was added to the second Index Catalog by J.L.E. Dreyer in 1908, based on photographic observations and using a position obtained by Solon Irving Bailey (1854-1931), published in Bailey (1908).
The occurance of the Delta Cephei star is consistent with the fact that it is not a very young cluster, its age may be about 90 million years (the Sky Catalog 2000 gives 89 million).
Also, as the distance of M25 is quite wellknown by other means, U Cephei can by used as one gauging point of the famous, so-called Cepheid distance scale, which is used for distance determinations of nearby galaxies.

Open Cluster M25 (IC 4725), type 'd', in Sagittarius

The occurance of the Cepheid is consistent with the fact that it is not a very young cluster, its age may be about 90 million years (the Sky Catalog 2000 gives 89 million).
