The Jewel Box, Open Cluster NGC 4755 in Crux
The Jewel Box, Open Cluster NGC 4755 in Crux. NGC 4755 (Caldwell 94) is called the Jewel Box, based on John Herschels comment in the 1830s that it looked like a superb piece of jewelry. There are about 50 stars in this cluster which formed some 14 million years ago. Most of the cluster members are blue giants which in a few million years will exhaust their hydrogen fuel and become red giants on their way to a cataclysmic end as supernovae. One red giant can already be seen at the center of the cluster
