Stellar Asterisms (Chance or not?)

Recommended Posts

Of all DSOs my favourite (unlike too many others) are Open Clusters! :)

AND also stellar Asterisms! Prompted by another thread that teased(!)
re. non-interest of a "random piece of sky", I noted (as ever) that a lot
of mid-distant stars (as ever!) formed intriguing groups and CHAINS! :cool:

I suppose the classic is "Kemble's Cascade". What are the odds of that?
I suppose that is the miracle of chance, coupled with my human trait to
"find patterns everywhere"! But I wonder if some of are associated... ;)

I suppose someone / somewhere / professional will have studied this! 
But I sense that real life "random" star fields are more interesting than
random (computer generated) random ones"? But I may be wrong!  :p
