Stars appear to randomly litter the sky, but they also form in clusters.

​

The most common form is the 'Open Star Cluster' but surrounding every Galaxy are hundreds, or even thousands, of 'Globular Clusters' containing thousands or even millions of stars.

They appear as almost miniature Galaxies.

​

In fact recent discoveries may prove that the largest known Globular Cluster 'Omega Centauri' may actually be a small Galaxy, not a Globular Cluster due to the high probablity of a Black hole at it's centre, which are only found within galaxies.

Here is a collection of some 'Open' and 'Globular' star clusters I photographed with a Canon 350d DSLR
