Messier 6, also known as the Butterfly Cluster or NGC 6405, is an open cluster of some 80 stars in the constellation of Scorpius. Its name derives from the vague resemblance of its shape to a butterfly. One of its more prominent stars is the B-type binary V970 Scorpii, which is also a strong x-ray source.

The first astronomer to record the Butterfly Cluster's existence was Giovanni Battista Hodierna in 1654. Charles Messier catalogued the cluster as M6 in 1764 and it wasn't till the 20th century that star counts, distance, and other properties were measured.
