NGC 2355

NGC 2355 is an open cluster located in the constellation Gemini. It was discovered by William Herschel on December 28, 1786. The cluster is estimated to be approximately 4,600 light-years away from Earth and is believed to be around one billion years old, making it a relatively old open cluster. It contains a moderate number of stars and appears somewhat dispersed. Its visual magnitude is around 9.7, meaning it's best observed with a telescope. Studies of NGC 2355 have contributed to our understanding of stellar evolution and the dynamics of open clusters. Its coordinates are approximately right ascension 07h 17m 49.0s and declination +13° 45′ 00″.
