NGC 225 has been estimated to be anywhere
from 10 to 120 million years old, thus making this widely
dispersed cluster one of the youngest open clusters in the Milky
Way, With approximately 20 bright member stars lying
approximately 2140 light-years away. Being effectively a
circumpolar cluster, its observation is not dependent on season
and/or time. It is of interest to note the presence of
reflection nebulosity which is further indication of its very
young age.
