This Apod blog is titled: Deep Auriga. This photo is the plane of ourMiley Way Galazy that is extedning though the Chatiteer constillation.There are some star clusters, that are labled by the M numbers.For example this perticular apod has the star Elanath that lies near the bottom right portion of the photo. This links Auriga to the Taururs constillation.Charles Massier's M36, M37, and M38 are the three open star clusters. To identify the Auriga M numbers this awesome photo allows you to wave your cursor over the image to reveale the correct lableing. I truly love the photo, and the cool features that it is composed of. This allows the student or person to be interactive. I feel that more APOD photos should be like this one.
