James Webb Telescope Reveals Massive Westerlund 1 Super Star Cluster Hidden in Milky Way’s Dust
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...

NASA's Webb And Hubble Team Up For Stunning View Of "Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster"
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope have united to produce a stunning image of two massive clusters of remote galaxies colliding in space and time.

James Webb Telescope Finds Evidence Of ''Celestial Monster'' Stars The Size of 10,000 Suns
These ''celestial monsters'' are 5000 to 10000 times more massive and five times hotter at their centre than the Sun.

Researchers Estimate Size of Largest Known Star Through Sharpest Optical Image Ever Captured
R136a1, a massive star with a mass around 150 or 200 times the Sun, has been observed in great detail, along with other stars in the cluster. The images from Gemini South's Zorro instrument have provided scientists with the clearest images of the star so far, which suggest it may not be as massive as previously thought.

Scientists Find 'Largest Cluster' of Nearly 100 Free-Floating Planets in a Single Star-Forming Region
Rogue planets have baffled astronomers for ages. Unlike regular planets which revolve around stars, these free-floating planets (FFPs) get ejected from star systems to move about in the galaxy on their own. In the latest discovery, astronomers found the largest cluster of rogue planets in a single star-forming region.

Hubble Captures Massive Galaxy Cluster In Stunning Detail
The Hubble Telescope has beamed back a stunning image of a massive galaxy cluster located six billion light years away, which shows extremely faint features that have never been seen before.

Hubble Space Telescope Captures Incredibly Massive UGC 12591 Galaxy
UGC 12591 lies in the westernmost region of the Pisces-Perseus Supercluster, a long chain of galaxy clusters that stretches out for hundreds of light-years.

Vast Cluster of Galaxies Spotted in Early Universe: Study
The newly discovered "proto-cluster" of galaxies, observed when the universe was only 1.7 billion years old, is one of the most massive structures known at that distance.

'Matryoshka Doll' Galaxy Clusters to Help Decode Dark Energy: Study
Massive clusters are simply scaled up versions of less massive ones, researchers said.

Astronomers Spot Most Massive Galaxy Cluster Yet
The cluster, named "IDCS 1426", is the most massive cluster of galaxies yet discovered in the first four billion years after the Big Bang.

Massive Galaxy Cluster Spotted 8.5 Billion Light-Years Away
Galaxy clusters are gravitationally bound groups of thousands of galaxies, which contain hundreds of billions of stars.

Massive Galaxy Cluster Spotted 8.5 Billion Light-Years Away
Astronomers have discovered a giant cluster of galaxies in a very remote part of the universe that is touted as the most massive structure yet found at such great distance.

Massive Dark Matter in 'Failed' Galaxies Detected
The galaxies appear to have stopped making new stars when they first fell into the cluster between seven and ten billion years ago and have been dead ever since.
