Cohenlocated around 22,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Scorpius. It is one of 11 globular clusters that were discovered by the Turkish-Armenian astronomer Agop Terzan between 1966 and 1971. This is a time period when he was working in France, based mostly at Lyon Observatory.
Somewhat confusingly, the 11 Terzan globular clusters are numbered from Terzan 1 to Terzan 12. This is due to a mistake Terzan made in 1971, when he rediscovered Terzan 5 — a cluster he had already discovered and reported back in 1968 — and named it Terzan 11. He published its discovery alongside those of Terzan 9, 10, and 12. He quickly realized his error, and attempted to have Terzan 12 renamed as Terzan 11.
