Formation of a Star Cluster in a Turbulent Cloud 08.07/2018 This shows the formation of a star cluster from a turbulent giant molecular cloud (GMC). Shocks form dense filaments that collapse to form stars. The orange shows the gas, blue shows newly formed stars. Radiation from those stars heats and blows away the medium around until it disperses. The dense, clustered nuggets form new star clusters. This movies were put together by Mike Grudic and David Guszejnov, studying the origin of stellar m

Early Universe, Star Formation Lynx arc, super-cluster that contains a million blue-white stars twice as hot as similar stars in our Milky Way galaxy. The Lynx arc is one million times brighter than the well-known Orion Nebula, a nearby prototypical 'starbirth' region visible with small telescopes. The stars in the Lynx arc are more than twice as hot as the Orion Nebula's central stars, with sun face temperatures up to 80 000°C. Though there are much bigger and brighter star-forming regions than
