NGC 2475 is an open star cluster located in the constellation Hydra. It was discovered by the astronomer John Herschel in 1834 and is approximately 1,200 light-years away from Earth. The cluster contains several bright stars and is estimated to be around 100 million years old. This star cluster is notable for its relatively loose structure and is part of a larger group of clusters in the region. Observations of NGC 2475 help astronomers understand the formation and evolution of star clusters in our galaxy, providing insights into stellar dynamics and age determination.
