Difference between Open cluster and Stellar kinematics

Open cluster vs. Stellar kinematics

An open cluster is a group of up to a few thousand stars that were formed from the same giant molecular cloud and have roughly the same age. In astronomy, stellar kinematics is the observational study or measurement of the kinematics or motions of stars through space.

Alpha Persei Cluster

The Alpha Persei Cluster, also known as Melotte 20 or Collinder 39, is an open cluster in the constellation of Perseus.
