Analysis of Hubble observations of the massive globular cluster NGC 2808 provides evidence that it has three generations of stars that formed early in the cluster’s life. This is a major upset for ...

Globular clusters, among the oldest bound stellar systems in the Universe, offer a unique laboratory for understanding stellar evolution and dynamics. Traditionally considered simple stellar ...

Astronomers created a stunning new image showing celestial fireworks in star cluster G286.21+0.17. Most stars in the universe, including our Sun, were born in massive star clusters. These clusters are ...

Images from the James Webb Space Telescope have helped researchers examine compact structures of star clusters inside galaxies for the first time. In a paper published in the journal Monthly Notices ...

A newly released image from the Hubble Space Telescope reveals a glowing ring of star formation in the heart of NGC 6951, a ...

Could a decades-long debate about the mysterious movements of stars in Omega Centauri, the largest star cluster in the Milky Way, finally be resolved? Could a decades-long debate about the mysterious ...

Using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, astronomers have collected important data that could disclose the real nature of the globular cluster Terzan 5. The new study, presented in a paper ...

This illustration shows the orbits of stars very close to Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way. Despite their ancient ages, some stars orbiting the Milky Way’s ...

Using the Gaia space telescope, astronomers have observed 55 massive stars ejected from their home star cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud at speeds equivalent to 80 times the speed of sound. When ...
