Star Cluster: Difference between revisions

A  '''Star Cluster''' or star cloud is a group of stars.  There are two types of star clusters:  Globular Clusters and Open Clusters.<blockquote>A Globular Cluster is a tight group of hundreds or thousands of very old stars, which are gravitationally bound.  There are at least 157 known Globular Clusters in the Milky Way Galaxy.</blockquote><blockquote>An Open Cluster is a more loosely clustered groups of stars, generally contain fewer than a few hundred members, and are often very young.  There are over 1,000 known open clusters in the Milky Way galaxy, but the actual total may be up to ten times higher.</blockquote>T<span style="font-size:14px;">here are a variety of star clusters</span><span style="font-size:14px;"> in '''Elite: Dangerous''' that contain rich survey data opportunities. </span><blockquote>'''*Zero and O appear very similar in the galaxy map; therefore, it may be problematic navigating to the correct coordinates.*'''<span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></blockquote><blockquote>'''''<u>*This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.*</u>'''''</blockquote>

'''Trumpler 16''' is the home of WR 25 (not the actual in-game designation), currently the most luminous star known in our Milky Way galaxy, together with the less luminous but more massive and famous '''Eta Carinae''' star system and the O2 supergiant HD 93129A (not the actual in-game designation).
