    Hi and welcome @Joseambe 😃

    It is difficult to tell from just looking at the image but it is possible they could be a cluster and therefore quite close to each other (astronomically speaking!) . It is most likely that they developed separately from each other and just bound through gravity.

    Hope this helps!
