Cluster Of Stars

The James Webb Space Telescope has possibly identified brown dwarfs beyond the Milky Way for the first time, offering new insights into how stars formed in the early universe. Located in the star cluster NGC 602 within the Small Magellanic Cloud, these “failed stars” may help explain star formation under early cosmic conditions. This discovery,...

For the first time, astronomers have detected brown dwarfs outside the Milky Way in the star cluster NGC 602, situated approximately 200,000 light-years away in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Utilising the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the team sought young brown dwarf candidates in an environment that resembles the early universe, with limited h...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unveiled Westerlund 1, the Milky Way’s largest super star cluster, located 12,000 light-years away in the constellation Ara. This massive cluster, with stars up to 2,000 times larger than the Sun, has a total mass between 50,000 to 100,000 times that of the Sun. Previously hidden by cosmic dust, Westerlun...

On August 15, 2024, NASA’s Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project, featuring the contributions of dedicated citizen scientists, made a groundbreaking discovery: an object moving at an astonishing speed of 1 million miles per hour, which will soon escape the gravitational pull of the Milky Way. This hypervelocity object, catalogued as CWISE J124909.08+...

Astronomers have scrutinized a cluster of stars that is the apparent remnant core of a relatively small galaxy that was swallowed by the sprawling Milky Way 8 to 10 billion years ago. What lurks at the center of this cluster has them excited.

"This is the first discovery of star clusters in an infant galaxy less than 500 million years after the Big Bang," ESA said in a statement.

The image, described by NASA as a "Hubble Classic view," depicts a mesmerising scene where bright-white, bluish, and orange stars twinkle amidst dark dust patches, hinting at regions of dense gas and potential star formation.

The space agency shared an image of a globular cluster captured by the Hubble Space Telescope and called it a ''celestial festival of lights.''

These ''celestial monsters'' are 5000 to 10000 times more massive and five times hotter at their centre than the Sun.

A supermassive black hole, weighing as much as 20 million Suns, has left behind a 2,00,000-light-year-long condensed trail of newborn stars, twice the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy, in its wake, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), US. Captured accidentally by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, the black hole was se...

NASA states that as stars form, they collect gas and dust from the surrounding molecular cloud, "which appears as ribbons in Webb imagery."

This star-studded picture initially seems like a skull, but it's actually a portion of the Rosette Nebula, so named because of the way its stars are arranged in a rose pattern.

Scientists have found a cluster of 18,000 stars that are from the primordial universe, shortly after the Big Bang took place.

The stars seen throughout are part of the cluster NGC 6530, located about 4,350 light-years away.

American space agency NASA's Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a stunning image of a beautiful open star cluster called NGC 1858, located in an area full of star-forming regions.
