... Credit Copyright: Damian Peach Explanation: Some 13,000 light-years away toward the southern constellation Pavo, the globular star cluster NGC 6752 roams the halo of our Milky Way galaxy. ... Telescopic explorations of the NGC 6752 have found that a remarkable fraction of the stars near the cluster's core, are multiple star systems. ...

These clusters are probably young versions of globular clusters, but they are commonly called super star clusters. Seven dwarf galaxies within 16 million light-years have formed super star clusters, with one of these galaxies, NGC 1569, possessing two young clusters. ... Super star clusters have a lot to tell us about star formation. ...

... 2003 December 15 . Open Star Clusters M35 and NGC 2158 . ... NGC 2158 is four times more distant that M35 , over 10 times older, and much more compact as it contains many more stars in roughly the same volume of space. NGC 2158 's bright blue stars have self-destructed , leaving cluster light to be dominated by older and yellower star s. Both clusters are visible toward the constellation of Gemini -- M35 with binoculars and NGC 2158 with a small telescope. ... About APOD | ...

NGC 5986, a little-studied southern-hemisphere globular cluster, is remarkable in containing two very luminous A-F type stars, discovered by me in the 1970's. These objects are probably in their final evolution off the asymptotic giant branch. ... Determining the distance to NGC 5986 will help calibrate the absolute brightnesses of post-AGB A-F stars. ... NGC 5986: last updated 2001 December 20 . Mike Siegel and I have found a post-AGB star in the globular cluster M79 (NGC 1904). ...
