Astronomers using computer simulations have investigated whether a class of star clusters nicknamed "cosmic wallflowers" ...
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are massive, dense and compact stellar systems found in all types of galaxies, from dwarfs to massive galaxies. With masses between 10,000 and 100 million solar masses and ...
Astronomers have discovered the first pairs of white dwarf and main sequence stars -- 'dead' remnants and 'living' stars -- in young star clusters. This breakthrough offers new insights on an extreme ...
The Birthplace of Stars: More Crowded Than You Think In galaxies like our own Milky Way, stars rarely lead lonely lives from ...
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified emerging young star clusters still breaking free from their dusty birth clouds in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 628. A preprint posted ...
Today: Nearly 400 years ago, Galileo looked at the Pleiades star cluster through his telescope and noticed that the seven or ...
An international team of astronomers reported evidence for the formation of mysterious “super star clusters” Jan. 9 at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Washington, D.C. These ...
the constellation Orion with the Orion Nebula Cluster as the central “star” in the sword of Orion, the Pleiades and the Hyades. All three open clusters are highlighted by large yellow circles. Orion ...
Globular star clusters are huge balls of thousands of stars that orbit most galaxies. They are among the oldest known stellar systems in the Universe and have survived through almost the entire span ...
