Description:
IC 2602 is an open cluster some 500 ly from Sol. It is the third brightest cluster of stars - after the Pleiades and the Hyades - and a naked eye object in Sol's skies. The cluster is also known as the Theta Carinae Cluster or the Southern Pleiades, since it was discovered by Earth Astronomer Abbe Lacaille in the 18th century on one his journeys in Earth's southern hemisphere.
The cluster is akin to the "Northern" (Taurean) Pleiades in age and composition, and it holds some 70 stars of various stages of mass segregation. Its core is made up of about a dozen high mass stars.
