Clusters Small collection of stars… thousands to millions 2 Types: 1. Open 2. Globular

Open Cluster Small collection of stars (few thousand) in spiral galaxies. New star nursery… stars formed from large nebula. Located in galaxy plane (disk). Not seen in elliptical galaxies… since there are no new stars forming.

Tarantula Nebula

Pillars of Creation – Eagle Nebula

Open Clusters New stars and dying stars (supernovas) clear away the nebula gas within ten million years. Measurements - Since all stars are same distance from Earth, easy to tell mass of stars from brightness.

Globular Clusters Larger collection (~million) of old stars found in the “halo” of galaxies. The oldest stars found in galaxies. There may be black holes at the center.

Comparisons Open Cluster: - Found in galaxy disk - Few thousand stars - Newer stars - ~1,100 found in Milky Way Globular Clusters: - Found in halo of galaxy - Millions of stars - Oldest stars in galaxy - ~150 found in Milky Way

Large Magellanic Cloud A nearby irregular galaxy…a satellite of the Milky Way. Likely was a barred spiral at first. Visible in the night sky as a “smudge”.
