Open cluster M35 (left) seems to have a companion (NGC 2158) from our perspective, although both clusters lie at different distances.

In this episode, Dave Eicher invites you to observe the open star cluster M35, which lies at the feet of the constellation Gemini the Twins. It’s easy to spot even through binoculars, and it makes a great sight through a telescope. Also, you’ll spot another open cluster nearby, NGC 2158, which is smaller and fainter, but it looks more condensed. So, go out soon and see them both.
