Thank you Kevin and Jo. Look what I found in Internet:
Open cluster in constellation of Cancer. With stars aged between 3.2 and 4 billions years, the cluster isn't so younger than our Sun.


Distant about 840 parsec. It has more than 100 stars similar to the Sun.


Some astronomers consider M67 as the possible parent cluster of our Sun. However, there aren't confirmation with computer simulations.
