Not all stars are the same. NASAHubble's Wide Field Camera 3 captured this star cluster, called NGC 1866, found at the very edges of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy located near the Milky Way. Star clusters are common structures throughout the universe, each made up of hundreds of thousands of stars all bound together by gravity. The cluster was discovered in 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop, who cataloged thousands of stars and deep-sky objects.
