The Beehive Cluster (also known as NGC 2632, M44, or Cr 189) is an open cluster in the constellation Cancer. It is one of the nearest open clusters to Sol, and it contains a larger star population than most other nearby clusters. The Beehive Cluster is one of the best studied open clusters, having been observed as far back as ancient times. It was one of the first objects studied by Galileo.
The cluster is composed of objects from almost every major star catalogue including HIP, HD, BD, HR, 2MASS, UGCS, PR, WBG, and BBG. There are few or no stars that are not "named". The cluster is approximately 500 light-years long and averages 10 light years wide. While composed of mostly red dwarf stars, it has stars of all major types (excepting O-type), and at least 10 stars of giant size. The cluster is roughly bounded by HIP 40361 at the lower end and DR Cancri at the upper end. The reference star Praesepe is one of the brighter stars, and also an older name for the entire cluster.
Carbon star X Cancri can be found approx 140 Ly above this cluster.
