- Messier 25 (Wikipedia)
Messier 25, also known as IC 4725, is an open cluster of stars in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. The first recorded observation of this cluster was made by Philippe Loys de Chéseaux in 1745 and it was included in Charles Messier’s list of nebulous objects in 1764. The cluster is located near some obscuring features, with a dark lane passing near the center.
