IC 2391
IC 2391 (also known as the Omicron Velorum Cluster or Caldwell 85) is an open cluster in the constellation Vela. The Persian astronomer Al Sufi may have first described it about 964. It was found by Abbe Lacaille and cataloged as Lac II 5.
The cluster is about 500 light-years away from Earth and can be seen with the naked eye. It contains about 30 stars with a total visual magnitude of 2.5, spread out along 50 arcminutes. The cluster appears to be about the same age as the open cluster IC 2602, and has a lithium depletion boundary age of about 50 million years.

Drowning
by: Ak 1200stay with me just for the day and
let your soul come and rest for a minute now
share your mind, if you have some time
i would love to sit and talk to you.
i would wait, if you asked me to,
but i, wont stay here forever now
i know your heart could keep me warm
just let me stay
[chorus]
i feel that
your eyes aren't always open
and these dreams, my
heart i cant deceive them
maybe the moon
will come down and save me
maybe your eyes
will stop me from falling
oh i'm drowning yea
oh i'm drowning yea
oh i'm drowning yea
oh i'm drowning yea
[chorus]
what can i say, what can i do
is there anyway to get close to you
i put myself into your shoes
and walk around these streets of yours
its cold outside, will you stay
but my heart is not far away
so take a breath and close your eyes
i want to hold you
[chorus]
i feel that
your eyes aren't always open
and these dreams, my heart
I cant deceive them
maybe the moon
will come down and save me
maybe your eyes
will stop me from falling

oh i'm drowning yea
