Map showing the location of NGC 1664
NGC 1664 is an open cluster in the constellation of Auriga . It contains stars with a total of around 640 solar masses with a tidal radius of 43 ly (13.2 pc) .[ 4]
NGC 1664 is a somewhat young cluster, with an age of 675 ± 50 Myr, and is dynamically relaxed.[ 2] It is located some 4,200 light-years away, or about 1.3 kpc.[ 2] Born outside of the solar circle , it orbits the center of the Milky Way every 244 million years.[ 2]
