    In 1999, cluster RDCS J0849+4452 (RX J0849+4452, RXJ0848.9+4452) was found at z=1.261 [43] [46] In 1995 and 2001, the cluster around 3C 294 was announced, at z=1.786 [65] In 1992, observations of the field of cluster Cl 0939+4713 found what appears to be a background cluster near a quasar, also in the background. The quasar was measured at z=2. ...

    Composite image showing young stars in and around molecular cloud Cepheus B.. This is a list of star-forming regions located in the Milky Way Galaxy and in the Local Group.Star formation occurs in molecular clouds which become unstable to gravitational collapse, and these complexes may contain clusters of young stars and regions of ionized gas called H II regions.

    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

  8. 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 ]
