This article discusses "super star clusters" but not superclusters. [1] (E.g. the Sirius supercluster.) It is unclear to me whether these are different terms for the same formation or completely separate entities. But both terms are used in the scientific literature.— RJH ( talk) 16:22, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Star cloud redirects here but the article says nothing about star clouds (e.g. M24) which is clearly distinct from both open clusters and gobular clusters. Stub Mandrel ( talk) 15:54, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Star cluster. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

What is the difference between a star cluster and a galaxy? Age, or number of stars, or presence of a central black hole, or ...? Norman21 ( talk) 17:19, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
According to a very interesting online gazetteer of 10978 star clusters and telescopic asterisms, there should be some sort of cluster near our galaxy's centre called The Brick. The coordinates of this cluster are: 17h 46m 10s / -28° 42' 42" (J2000). Now, why is it called The Brick? (is it because of its shape, or...??). DannyJ.Caes ( talk) 16:09, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
To Lithopsian, thank you for your efforts on the article. The section on Star Clouds is so paltry and unsourced, I hope something can be done about that. Anyway, in one edit you comment "Cygnus Star Cloud gives the game away, they might just be line-of-sight". Not sure what you meant by that. My understanding is, the star clouds are large portions of the Milky Way which appear bright because many more stars shine through, not blocked by intervening dust.
