Kemble's Cascade is an
asterism containing about 20 stars, of magnitudes between 5 and 10, and associated,
extending a distance of more than five times the full moon. At the end of the
cascade, as if it were a stellar lake, we can find the open cluster NGC 1502.
An asterism is a
recognized set of stars that appear to form a figure but not one of the 88
official constellations. For example, one of the most famous asterisms is The
Chariot located in the constellation Ursa Major. For Kemble's Cascade, this is
located in the constellation of the Giraffe and is easily visible with
binoculars.
