text:
NGC 2509 is an open cluster in the constellation of Puppis. It was discovered on 3 December 1783 by William Herschel. It was described as "bright, pretty rich, slightly compressed" by John Louis Emil Dreyer, the compiler of the New General Catalogue. The cluster is about 14 light-years wide, but the cluster's other parameters remain poorly known. Some studies have estimated a distance of about 9,500 light-years away from the Solar System, while older estimates put it at only 2980 light-years awa
