Messier 46 is an open cluster of stars in the constellation of Puppis. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1771. Dreyer described it as "very bright, very rich, very large." M46 is about 4,900 light-years away. There are an estimated 500 stars in the cluster with a combined mass of 450 solar masses, and it is thought to be some 250 million years old.
NGC 2438. a planetary nebula, appears to lie within the cluster near its northern edge, but it is most likely unrelated since it does not share the cluster's radial velocity.
