A stellar association is a very loose star cluster, looser than an open cluster. A moving group is the remnant of such a stellar association. [1] Members of stellar associations and moving groups share similar kinematic properties, as well as similar ages and chemical composition. The list (below) is sorted by the distance to the Solar System.
This is a list of open clusters located in the Milky Way. An open cluster is an association of up to a few thousand stars that all formed from the same giant molecular cloud . There are over 1,000 known open clusters in the Milky Way galaxy, but the actual total may be up to ten times higher. [ 1 ]
An astronomical catalogue is a list or tabulation of astronomical objects, typically grouped together because they share a common type, morphology, origin, means of detection, or method of discovery. Astronomical catalogs are usually the result of an astronomical survey of some kind.

Historically, astronomical observatories consisted generally in a building or group of buildings where observations of astronomical objects such as sunspots, planets, asteroids, comets, stars, nebulae, and galaxies in the visible wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum were conducted. At first, for millennia, astronomical observations have ...
The following are lists of clusters: List of galaxy groups and clusters; List of open clusters; List of globular clusters; See also. List of superclusters
It has an f/8 RC design, and began operations in 2015. The BOOTES-5 project is a collaboration between the Institute of Astronomy of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA), Spain, and the Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) in South Korea.
In this map of the Observable Universe, objects appear enlarged to show their shape. From left to right celestial bodies are arranged according to their proximity to the Earth. This horizontal (distance to Earth) scale is logarithmic.
