We know black hole mergers occur because we can detect the resulting gravitational waves. But when trying to piece together ...

Astronomer using Hubble discovers "young stars that are spiraling into the center of a massive cluster of stars in the Small ...

NGC 6355 has been imaged using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The globular cluster of stars lies 50,000 light-years away.

Star clusters aren't the only "well-placed" celestial objects this month. The Lagoon Nebula, or Messier 8, is a swirling cloud of interstellar gas where stars are born, located some 5,200 light ...

These clusters have few metals and yet, somehow, one of them managed to forge a massive planet. Later that decade, Hubble studied the young star cluster NGC 346 in the Small Magellanic Cloud ...

A recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics journal has discovered four new primordial open cluster (OC) groups in the Milky Way. Open clusters are loose groups of stars that are born ...

Later in the month, you can see Venus with the naked eye, along with the Pleiades and Hyades star clusters and the bright, orange-hued star Aldebaran. From June 22 to 24, ...

This image shows the Westerlund 2 star cluster, released to celebrate 25 years of Hubble in space. This image shows the star-forming region NGC 3603 captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, home to one ...

A study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics has identified four previously unknown primordial open cluster (OC) groups in the Milky Way. Open clusters, loose assemblies of stars born from the ...

Logan Pass Star Parties at Glacier National Park July 25 and August 22, 2025 The Big Sky Astronomy Club hosts two nights of out-of-this-world stargazing during the new moon at Glacier National ...

Some clusters are small and loose, called open clusters, and you’ll find them scattered across the arms of spiral galaxies like our Milky Way. Others are massive and tightly packed, called globular ...
