From Peace Station Encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to searchA rich little open star cluster, NGC 2362 contains about 40 members, among them such stars as UW Canis Majoris. It is one of the youngest known star clusters; many of its stars have not even reached main sequence yet. Still gathering themselves together, it is estimated this stellar collection is less than a million years old. Its central star, Tau, is one of the most luminous stars known.
