M50或梅西耶50，也称为NGC 2323，是位于麒麟座的一个疏散星团。它可能在1711年之前就被卡西尼发现，梅西耶在1772年4月5日观测比拉彗星时，又再度独立发现它。它有时也被描述或心形或钝箭头^[3]。

M50距离地球大约2,900光年^[2]，虽然与大犬座 OB1星协接近，但估计关系并不紧密^[4]。它的核心半径为5.9 ly（1.8 pc）^[6]，范围为17.8 ly（5.46 pc）^[4]。这个星团有508个已确认成员和109个可能的成员；它们的总质量超过7032566736750000000♠285 M_☉，平均恒星密度是每立方秒差距1.3颗恒星^[4]。星团的历史大约有1.4亿年^[1]，有两颗大质量的白矮星^[7]和两颗特殊恒星^[8]。

Eight out of ninety degrees south of the celestial equator. Thus its light reaches all parts of the Earth, down to a good minimal cumulation 15° above the horizon, on the unobstructed southern horizons of the 67th parallel north. This rules out Iceland and the north coasts of the two northernmost continents.
