Using the Nanshan One-meter Wide-field Telescope (NOWT), astronomers from China have performed a photometric survey of the old open cluster NGC 188. In result, they identified many variable stars, one of which was detected ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers from the University of Padua, Italy, and elsewhere have observed a metal-poor globular cluster known as Messier 92. The observations ...
To sit under the vast expanse of stars is to imagine swimming across shining, stellar rivers, creeks and tributaries. But to sit here also is to feel that lump in your throat and skip in your heart, realizing everything you ...

Using data from NASA's Kepler spacecraft, astronomers from the Pedagogical University of Cracow, Poland, and elsewhere have detected 278 variable stars in the open cluster NGC 6791 and its surroundings. The finding was reported ...
On June 20, 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope spent just over one hour staring at Messier 92 (M92), a globular cluster 27,000 light-years away in the Milky Way halo. The observation—among the very first science observations ...

Using three ground-based telescopes in Chile, astronomers have conducted a search for variable stars in the open cluster NGC 6611. In result, they detected 95 variables and the majority of them are most likely cluster members. ...
Using the 3.6m Devasthal Optical Telescope (DOT), Indian astronomers have performed detailed deep near-infrared observations of a Galactic open cluster known as Teutsch 76. Results of the observational campaign, published ...
Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope's first images of galaxy clusters, researchers have, for the very first time, been able to examine very compact structures of star clusters inside galaxies, so-called clumps. In a ...
