NGC 1750 and NGC 1758, located in the constellation Taurus the Bull, are two open clusters that seem to overlap each other. This is only an appearance and is due to their location in relation to our line of sight. NGC 1750 is approximately 2,000 light-years from the Earth and NGC 1758 is about 500 light-years farther away. The two clusters do not interact gravitationally.
