I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.
What we do. Every page goes through several hundred of perfecting techniques; in live mode. Quite the same Wikipedia. Just better.
Great Wikipedia has got greater.

Map showing the location of NGC 1664

NGC 1664 is an open cluster in the constellation of Auriga. It contains stars with a total of around 640 solar masses with a tidal radius of 43 ly (13.2 pc).[4]

NGC 1664 is a somewhat young cluster, with an age of 675 ± 50 Myr, and is dynamically relaxed.[2] It is located some 4,200 light-years away, or about 1.3 kpc.[2] Born outside of the solar circle, it orbits the center of the Milky Way every 244 million years.[2]
