Astronomers have discovered a new kind of star system: Elongated and clumpy clusters of young, hot, blue stars, formed out of gas blown out of a galaxy as it rams its way through a galaxy cluster.

A new 527-megapixel image captures two open star clusters, NGC 456 and NGC 460, orbiting our Milky Way galaxy. The image uses ...
