NGC 2112 is an open star cluster located in the constellation of Lynx. It was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1788. This cluster is approximately 1,200 light-years away from Earth and contains several young stars that are still in the process of forming. The cluster is notable for its relatively loose structure and is estimated to be around 100 million years old. Observations of NGC 2112 can provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of star clusters, making it an interesting subject for astronomers studying stellar development.
