Stars in globular clusters pack snugly together. Messier 28, for example, crams about 50,000 stars into a region just 60 light-years (350 trillion miles) across. The Sun only has about 400 known stellar neighbors that close. #MondayMotivation

What keeps them from collapsing together from gravity? Were the stars formed from an old expanding supernova?

NASA Satellite Precipitation Data Joins the Air Force

Rain gauges are plentiful around the United States, but that’s not the case elsewhere in the world, so scientists and other data users have to rely on satellite measurements, such as those provided by NASA’s GPM to fill in the gaps.

Open Clusters:

These contain between a few dozen to a few thousand stars, all formed from the same cloud of gas and dust. Their shape is more irregular than spherical, with large amounts of gas between the stars.

Embedded Clusters:

These are like a "prequel" to open and globular clusters. As the youngest type of star cluster, they contain newly born and forming stars surrounded by cosmic gas and dust.
