List of open clusters
open-in-new
<p>This is a list of open clusters located in the <a href="/facts/Milky_Way/ulF6lccN">Milky Way</a>. An <a href="/facts/Open_cluster/UodlJqcx">open cluster</a> is an association of up to a few thousand <a href="/facts/Star/PFbd6ICx">stars</a> that all formed from the same <a href="/facts/Giant_molecular_cloud/5jEwCJxs">giant molecular cloud</a>. There are over 1,000 known open clusters in the <a href="/facts/Milky_Way/ulF6lccN">Milky Way</a> galaxy, but the actual total may be up to ten times higher. The estimated <a href="/facts/Half-life/kGVH8BAB">half-lives</a> of clusters, after which half the original cluster members will have been lost, range from 150 million to 800 million years, depending on the original density. </p> <table><tbody><tr><th rowspan="3">Clusteridentifier</th><th></th><th></th><th rowspan="3"><a href="/facts/Constellation/nBQqgW8A">Constellation</a></th><th rowspan="3">Distance(<a href="/facts/Parsec/SwSsk57J">parsecs</a>)</th><th rowspan="3">Age(<a href="/facts/Year/51V242hh">Myr</a>)</th><th rowspan="3">Diameter</th><th rowspan="3"><a href="/facts/Apparent_magnitude/7pCTF1Me">Apparentmagnitude</a></th><th rowspan="3">Notes</th></tr><tr><th colspan="2"><a href="/facts/Epoch_(astronomy)/RDdj6SmA">Epoch</a> <a href="/facts/J2000/RDdj6SmA">J2000</a></th></tr><tr><th><a href="/facts/Right_Ascension/z4CEsTFu">R.
