... 2013 July 5 . Globular Star Cluster NGC 6752 . ... 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. Over 10 billion years old, NGC 6752 follows clusters Omega Centauri and 47 Tucanae as the third brightest globular in planet Earth's night sky. ... Telescopic explorations of the NGC 6752 have found that a remarkable fraction of the stars near the cluster's core, are multiple star systems. ...

Bright blue stars frequently distinguish younger open clusters. ... 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. ...

Image -- Jim Flood, Max Mutchler (Space Telescope Science Institute), and NASA. The Hubble image shows clusters of hot, young, blue stars in a 3,000 light-year segment of NGC 1808's starburst region. The ground-based image shows a faint halo surrounding the galaxy's disk - the aftereffect of dust filaments being ejected from the core by massive stars that exploded as supernovae in the starburst region. ... 1 April 1998 . for the July 1998 edition of Astronomy magazine) ...

... July 9, 1999 . NGC 7789: Galactic Star Cluster . ... Explanation: At 1.6 billion years old, this cluster of stars is beginning to show its age. NGC 7789 is an open or galactic star cluster about 8,000 light-years distant toward the constellation Cassiopeia and lies near the plane of our Milky Way galaxy. ... These have evolved from main sequence stars like the sun into the gaggle of red giant stars apparent (with a reddish-yellow cast) in this lovely composite color image. ... About APOD > . ...

... BLUE STRAGGLER STARS are unusually hot and bright stars found in the cores of ancient star clusters known as globulars. ... BACKGROUND (from wikipedia): Blue straggler stars are stars in open or globular clusters that are hotter and bluer than other cluster stars having the same luminosity. ... There is evidence in favor of this view, notably that blue straggler stars appear to be much more common in dense regions of clusters, especially in the cores of globular clusters. ...
