    NGC 884 is an open cluster located 7600 light years away in the constellation of Perseus. The cluster is most likely around 12.5 million years old and is a favorite of amateur astronomers as they can be observed with small telescopes and are visible with the unaided eye between the constellations of Perseus and Cassiopeia as a brighter patch in the winter Milky Way.

    888 - The year Charles the Fat died. The Frankish kingdom is split (again), this time permanently. Odo, Count of Paris becomes King of the Western Franks. On Star Trek Odo means "no name" (just thought I'd add that snippet).

    Lot 66 - 891 Lunar Deed for 1 acre of the moon between latitude 20 deg N and Longitude 30 deg W - owned by 3rd eye.

    If NASA or anyone else wants to build a moon base on that spot I can claim rent (according to the Big Cheese).

    897 was a busy year in the ecclesiastical world. January – The Cadaver Synod is held, the body of Formosus was exhumed and put on trial (he was found guilty). In August Pope Steven was strangled and succeeded by Pope Romanus the 114th pope. In November Pope Romanus is deposed. In December Pope Theodore II succeeds Pope Romanus as the 115th pope, but dies twenty days later.

    AD896: Bioniface VI was elected Pope. He died 15 days later making his the second shortest Papal term of office in history. He was replaced by Stephen Vi, who lasted less than a year. To lose one pope so quickly is unfortunate, to lose two ...

    AD897: Romanus elected Pope - he only lasted 3 months and was followed by Theodore II who lasted less than a year. You can see where the Italians get their penchence for frequent elections from.
