M35 is a well-known open star cluster located in the constellation of Gemini. It is approximately 2,500 light-years away from Earth and contains several hundred stars. The cluster is notable for its bright and colorful stars, which are relatively young compared to other star clusters. Discovered by Jean-Philippe de Chéseaux in 1745, M35 is often observed by amateur astronomers due to its visibility with small telescopes. The cluster is best viewed during the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, making it a popular target for stargazers interested in exploring deep-sky objects.
