Thousands upon thousands of stars illuminate this breathtaking image of star cluster Liller 1, imaged with Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3. 

Some of our galaxy’s most massive, luminous stars burn 8,000 light-years away in the open cluster Trumpler 14.

Many thousands of stars burn brightly in the globular cluster Terzan 4, part of the constellation Scorpius. 

A few young stars shine through dense clouds of gas and dust in the Orion Nebula’s Trapezium embedded cluster, 1,500 light-years from Earth. 

Looking like a glittering swarm of buzzing bees, the stars of globular cluster NGC 6440 shine brightly.
