'''Messier 35''' (also known as '''M 35''', or '''NGC 2168''') is an [[w:open cluster]] in the constellation [[w:Gemini (constellation)|Gemini]]. It was discovered by [[w:Philippe Loys de Chéseaux]] in [[w:1745]] and independently discovered by [[w:John Bevis]] before [[w:1750]]. The cluster is scattered over an area of the sky almost the size of the [[w:Full Moon|full moon]] and is located 2,800 [[w:parsec]]s from Earth.
