NGC 6025 C 95 is a open cluster located within the constellation Triangulum Australe. It is 2,600 light years from Earth and is an open cluster containing roughly 500 stars, primarily comprised of hot, young, blue stars. Under dark, clear skies in the southern skies, the cluster is faintly visible to the naked eye. However, the 30 brightest stars in the cluster (which reach 7th magnitude) can easily be resolved using a pair of binoculars or a small telescope. Estimated to be between 40 and 130 million years old, it is mature enough that its component stars have started to spread out slightly, yet it remains distinctly bound against the general galactic star fields. Apparent magnitude 5.1.
