The open cluster Messier 6 in the constellation Scorpius is also known as the Butterfly Cluster or NGC 6405. 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.
The Collinder catalogue is a catalogue of 471 open clusters compiled by Swedish astronomer Per Collinder.It was published in 1931 as an appendix to Collinder's paper On structural properties of open galactic clusters and their spatial distribution.
Moffat (open star clusters) (for example: Moffat 1 at 16:01:30 / -54°07'00" in Norma) Moitinho (open star clusters) (for example: Moitinho 1 at 8:19:17 / -45°12'30", southwest of the Gum Nebula, in Vela) MPC — Minor Planet Circulars contain astrometric observations, orbits and ephemerides of both minor planets and comets

Below is a list of the largest known star clusters, ordered by diameter in light years, above the size of 50 light years in diameter. This list includes globular clusters , open clusters , super star clusters , and other types.
An open cluster is a type of star cluster made of tens to a few thousand stars that were formed from the same giant molecular cloud and have roughly the same age. More than 1,100 open clusters have been discovered within the Milky Way galaxy, and many more are thought to exist. [1]
Globular cluster masses can be determined by observing the proper motion of nearby stars influenced by the cluster [1] [2] or by estimating the cluster's relaxation time. [ 3 ] Open clusters
