Hubble's Star Clusters
A collection of star clusters imaged by the Hubble Space TelescopeNASA Hubble Space Telescope (Flickr)
The last image in our star cluster celebration shows NGC 1850, about 160,000 light-years away.
It includes ultraviolet observations, which are ideal for detecting light from the hottest and youngest stars, as seen in this luminous view.

Inside the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy to our Milky Way, is the star cluster NGC 376.
Seen in this #HubbleFriday view, NGC 376 is made of stars that are loosely bound together by gravity: https://go.nasa.gov/3BmGKoN
