7 colourful images of star clusters captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope

NGC 2210: This striking Hubble Space Telescope image shows the densely packed globular cluster known as NGC 2210, which is situated in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).

Terzan 12: Terzan 12 is one of 11 globular clusters discovered by the Turkish-Armenian astronomer Agop Terzan approximately a half-century ago.

NGC 6652: The glittering, glitzy contents of the globular cluster NGC 6652 sparkle in this star-studded image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. NGC 6652 lies in our own Milky Way galaxy in the constellation Sagittarius.

NGC 6355: The scattered stars of the globular cluster NGC 6355 are strewn across this image from the Hubble Space Telescope. NGC 6355 is a galactic globular cluster that resides in our Milky Way galaxy's inner regions.

NGC 376: This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captures a small portion of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). These stars comprise the open cluster NGC 376, which has a total mass only about 3,400 times that of the Sun.

NGC 6440: The stars of globular cluster NGC 6440 shine brightly in this Hubble Space Telescope image. The cluster is located some 28,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius, the archer.

NGC 1850: This 100 million-year-old globular cluster is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way and a birthplace for billions of stars.
