However others are less pessimistic and it has even been claimed that the mysterious ?Wow! signal? received in 1977 originated from the direction M55.б  Sadly, this still unexplained pulse of radio energy originated from a location rather to the northwest of M55 so I doubt if the source was this cluster (if indeed the signal was genuinely of extraterrestrial origin). ...

Hubble's bird's-eye view of M31 allowed astronomers to conduct a larger-than-ever sampling of star clusters that are all at the same distance from Earth, 2.5 million light-years. ...

... A few weeks ago, around a galaxy far, far away, a new type of mysterious БЂњdarkБЂќ star cluster was spotted. Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, is surrounded by about 150 groups of stars, which are called globular clusters. ... A galaxy called Centaurus A (sen-TOR-us Ay) is surrounded by thousands of globular clusters. ... These globular clusters aren't the only dark object in Centaurus A, at the centre of this galaxy lies a black hole that is 55 million times more massive than our Sun! ...

Stellar Clusters are very useful laboratories for empirically studying stellar evolution. ... All cluster stars are at the same distance . All cluster stars have the same physical age . ...

Many intermediate-age star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds exhibit very unusual features in their colour-magnitude diagrams that suggest they may have formed their stars over periods spanning hundreds of millions of years per cluster. ... Nonetheless, this interpretation is enticing in the context of the formation of ancient globular clusters, which almost always exhibit puzzling abundance patterns that apparently require multiple episodes of star formation to explain. ...
