Caldwell 71: This Hubble image of a loosely bound collections of stars reveals a portion of the open cluster Caldwell 71. Most open clusters reside in the arms of spiral galaxies, and their stars are usually relatively young.

NGC 2031: In the top left corner of this starry sight, the globular cluster NGC 2031 shines brilliantly in the constellation Mensa in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way.

NGC 2002: An open star cluster that resides roughly 160,000 light-years away from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. In this Hubble Space Telescope image, twinkling group of stars is seen at the center.

NGC 1858: Set against a backdrop littered with tiny pinpricks of light glint a few, brighter stars, this is NGC 1858, a 10-million-year-old open star cluster.

Globular cluster in Dorado: This 100 million-year-old globular cluster is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way and a birthplace for billions of stars. The cluster is approximately 160,000 light-years away in the constellation Dorado.
