This spectacular image of globular cluster Terzan 12 shows tightly bound stars captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is located at the centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way.

This stellar group known as NGC 2040 is captured in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. It shows the largest known region of star formation.

This globular cluster is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, where millions of stars are born. This 100 million-year-old sense star cluster is tightly bound together by mutual gravitational attraction.

This image shows Hodge 301, one of the most active starburst regions located in the Tarantula Nebula, where bright, massive stars illuminate in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, the stars in open cluster KMHK 1231 are loosely bound by gravity and surrounded by crimson gas and dust of the nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

This bright image by the Hubble Space Telescope shows the young star cluster LH63, an active star-forming region surrounded by the red glow of nebula LHA 120-N 51 in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

The image shows one of the massive young star clusters in nebula NGC 3603 in the Milky Way Galaxy. It is a prominent star-forming region.
