NGC 7142 is an open cluster about 6,200 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. Due to the observational difficulties NGC 7142 presents, it has been an infrequent topic of research. Current known studies include only work being done at the University of Kansas.

NGC7142位于反射星云NGC 7129附近，这是星团可能被星际云遮蔽的第一个迹象。 许多研究已经证明这是真的，可以追溯到这个星系团最早的研究。 对仙王座区域的一项深入研究得出结论：任何一个区域都不能被认为是无障碍的。

In the foreground, dusty nebula NGC 7129 is about 3,000 light-years distant, while open cluster NGC 7142 is likely over 6,000 light-years away. In fact, pervasive and clumpy foreground dust clouds in this region redden the light from NGC 7142, …

Abstract: The results of medium-band photometry of 1037 stars in the area of the old open cluster NGC 7142 down to V = 20.1 mag in the Vilnius seven-colour system are presented.

In the foreground, dusty nebula NGC 7129 is about 3,000 light-years distant, while open cluster NGC 7142 is likely over 6,000 light-years away. In fact, pervasive and clumpy foreground dust clouds in this region redden the light from NGC 7142, …

Open Cluster NGC 7142's stars are estimated to be over 3 billion years old, far older than those in reflection nebula NGC 7129, which appears about ½ degree away on the sky in the constellation of Cepheus. The cluster's stars are tinted by the red streak of hydrogen emissions that lay between the cluster and us.

NGC 7142 is an open star cluster located in the constellation Cepheus. The cluster is estimated to be approximately 6,000 light-years away from Earth. NGC 7142 is known for its rich and dense star population. It consists of several dozen stars, with some being more prominent than others.

2019年8月30日 · 在前景中，尘埃星云NGC 7129大约3000光年远，而开放星团NGC 7142可能超过6000光年远。 事实上，在这一区域，普遍存在的团块状前景尘埃云会使NGC 7142发出的光线变红，这使得星系团的天文探索变得更加复杂。

NGC 7142 is a fairly large and bright cluster, however the individual stars are mostly rather faint, and so a telescope is needed for a good view. Despite being located in a rich portion of the Milky Way, there are a number of faint galaxies visible in the image.

2018年7月15日 · NGC 7142 is an open cluster of stars in the constellation Cepheus the King . Reddening due to obscuring interstellar clouds makes determination of the cluster's distance and age difficult to accurately ascertain. Most estimates put the …
