M67, open cluster in Cancer - from 2012-02-25 by Thad Szabo Via Flickr: This is the other well-known cluster in Cancer. It is also known as NGC 2682. The metallicity and ages of these stars are similar to that of our Sun. Is this where our star was "born"?

This is one of the oldest open clusters known, and the oldest in Messier's catalog. It has an estimated age of around 3.2 billion years. This is striking since most open clusters are typically much younger and their stars should have dispersed by this time. Despite that, the King Cobra Cluster still has around 500 stars, and five stars have found to host planetary systems.
