NGC457 is the third brightest - but most adorable - open cluster in Cassiopeia, as its bright stars form a distinct stick-figure pattern with two prominent beacons as “eye”. Many imagine it as Steven Spielberg’s charismatic Alien E.T, some see its stars as on Owl, airplane, among other figures. What do you see? It was discovered by German British astronomer William Herschel on August 18, 1780.
