    The following is a list of stars with resolved images, that is, stars whose images have been resolved beyond a point source. Aside from the Sun , observed from Earth , stars are exceedingly small in apparent size, requiring the use of special high-resolution equipment and techniques to image.

  4. List of nearby stellar associations and moving groups

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearby_stellar...

    The regions with higher density of stars are shown; these correspond with known star clusters (Hyades and Coma Berenices) and moving groups. This is a list of nearby stellar associations and moving groups. 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 ...

    The astronomical catalogue is composed mainly of star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. Other objects in the catalogue can be found in the other subpages of the list of NGC objects . The constellation information in these tables is from The Complete New General Catalogue and Index Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters by J. L. E. Dreyer , [ 1 ...

  7. List of open clusters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open_clusters

    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 ]
