NGC 7037 (also known as [KPS2012] MWSC 3477) is an open cluster located in the Cygnus constellation.[1] It is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. It was discovered by 19th century English astronomer William Herschel on 5 August 1829.[2] It is located approximately 11,444.83 light years, (3509 pc), from the Earth.[3][4]
