The target of the observations was Cygnus OB2, which is the nearest large cluster of stars to our sun—at a distance of about 4,600 light-years. The cluster contains hundreds of massive stars as ...

Gaia selected Omega Centauri to help fill in the gaps in the stellar map. Omega Centauri is the largest globular cluster that can ... such as a galaxy or star, sitting between the observer and ...

They say they are trying to map star clusters in nearby galaxies and the average person is better at identifying those images than any super computer. On a starry night in Chile people can see the ...

In local galaxies we see that a large fraction of stars form in star clusters. Star clusters are groups of stars held together by gravitational forces. Star clusters can have varying sizes ...
