M35 is a beautiful open star cluster in the constellation Gemini. It consists of a loose grouping of dazzling young blue stars. To the lower right is another more distant star cluster, NGC 2158. Its red reddish stars are indicative of its older age and its denser arrangement is almost like a globular cluster.
