Astronomers have analyzed the images collected by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to investigate a galactic open cluster ...

Researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have made significant progress in understanding how three-dimensional (3D) layered structures form ...

The Hubble Space Telescope recently captured an image of a beautiful star cluster called NGC 1858, located in an area full of star-forming regions. This area is part of the Large Magellanic Cloud, one ...

Chinese astronomers have found a pair of young star clusters formed within a circumgalactic high-velocity cloud on the ...

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 ...

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has identified thousands of more than 5 billion years old globular clusters in the Virgo cluster of galaxies. One of the results of these discoveries led ...

The clusters may eventually evolve into massive star systems over millions of years. Despite the overall star formation efficiency in the CMZ being similar to that of other active star-forming regions ...

New research demonstrated a possible formation mechanism of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters, star clusters that could contain tens of thousands or even millions of tightly packed ...

Massive star clusters brimming with giant, luminous blue stars are forming in the unraveled wreckage of interacting galaxies. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Globular clusters are like astronomical coelacanths — mysterious living fossils. These densely packed collections of ancient stars may hold the ultimate secrets to the formation of galaxies. When you ...
