  3. 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 ]

  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 following are lists of clusters: List of galaxy groups and clusters; List of open clusters; List of globular clusters; See also. List of superclusters

    Image taken by ESO's VISTA of the Globular Cluster VVV CL001. On the right lies the globular star cluster UKS 1 and on the left [where?] lies a much less conspicuous new discovery, VVV CL001. [1] The two are not physically located close to each other; this is a line-of-sight coincidence. [2] This is a list of globular clusters.

    The following is a list of NGC objects, that is objects listed in the New General Catalogue (NGC). It is one of the largest comprehensive astronomical catalogues for deep sky objects such as star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.

    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
