M67 is one of the oldest open clusters in our galaxy. It is about 4 billion years old. Open clusters are typically younger, as the stars tend to disperse over time, usually before the cluster reaches this age. M67 consist of over 500 stars. It is some 2700 ly distant, and has a diameter of approximately 23 ly. |
