Messier 35 (also M35, Collinder 82 and NGC 2168) is a magnitude +5.3 open star cluster located 2,800 light-years away in the constellation Gemini.

The cluster was discovered by Swiss astronomer Philippe Loys de Chéseaux using a a 2-feet focal length Gregorian reflector in Lausanne in 1745.
The cluster was independently discovered by John Bevis before 1750. It is possible that Bevis discovered the cluster before Chéseaux, but there are no conclusive records.
Charles Messier catalogued the cluster on August 30, 1764, crediting the discovery of the cluster to John Bevis.

Right Ascension 06h 09m 00.0s, Declination +24° 21' 00"
