Open ClustersOpen star clusters are groupings of stars that are related and held together by thier mutual gravity. The star clusters are beleived to be the result of them forming from the same gas and dust cloud (ie nebula). If you want to see a star cluster forming from a nebula see the images in the Nebulae section. For example the Great Orion Nebula is a wonderful example of this process.
