NGC 2418 is an open star cluster located in the constellation of Gemini. It was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1786. This cluster is approximately 2,000 light-years away from Earth and contains several hundred stars, many of which are young and bright. The cluster is notable for its relatively high concentration of stars in a small area, making it an interesting target for astronomers. NGC 2418 is also part of a larger group of clusters in the region, contributing to our understanding of star formation and the evolution of stellar systems.
