   Messier 3 (M3 or NGC 5272) is a globular cluster of stars in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici. It was discovered on May 3, 1764, and was the first Messier object to be discovered by Charles Messier himself.

Messier originally mistook the object for a nebula without stars. This mistake was corrected after the stars were resolved by William Herschel around 1784.This cluster is one of the largest and brightest, and is made up of around 500,000 stars. 

It is estimated to be 11.4 billion years old. It is centered at 32,615.64 light-years (10 kpc) away from Earth.

Messier 3 is quite isolated as is 31.6 kly (9.7 kpc) above the Galactic plane and roughly 38.8 kly (11.9 kpc) from the center of the Milky Way. It contains 274 known variable stars, by far the most found in any globular cluster.
