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

Using the Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have discovered a compact binary system consisting of two white dwarfs in the center of a nearby globular cluster designated NGC 6397. The finding was ...

A fluffy cluster of stars spilling across the sky may have a secret hidden in its heart: a swarm of over 100 stellar-mass black holes. The star cluster in question is called Palomar 5. It's a stellar ...

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 ...

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 ...

Densely packed, fast-moving stars at the Milky Way's center can collide with each other. New research uses simulations to explore the outcomes of these collisions. Some collisions are more like ...

How do stars form and evolve inside globular clusters? This is what a recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of researchers conducted 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
