Open cluster M44 in cancer - Open star cluster M44 in Cancer - M44 is a cluster of stars located 577 years - light from Earth, in the constellation Cancer. M44, the Praesepe or Beehive, is an open cluster located about halfway between Gemini and Leo. It is an easy naked eye object more than twice the size across the full moon. Galileo first observed it in a telescope as a collection of about 40 stars, and today's modern large telescopes reveal about 350 stars. M44 is about 577 light years away, and is about 400 million years old, the same age as the Hyades cluster
