An international team of astronomers led by the University of Vienna has deciphered the formation history of young star clusters, some of which we can see with the naked eye at night. The team, led by ...

An international team of astronomers has used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to discover gravitationally bound star clusters when the universe was 460 million years old. This is the first ...

A trio of massive, young star clusters found embedded in a star cloud may shed light on the formation of super-star clusters and globular clusters. The discovery, made with images taken with the ...

In the constellation Taurus, there is a cluster of a few hundred stars known as the Hyades. The cluster is just 150 light-years away, and it could be harboring a stellar-mass black hole. The idea of ...

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 history of how stars and galaxies came to be and evolved into the present day remains among the most challenging astrophysical questions to solve yet, but new research brings us closer to ...
