## Caption

It’s okay if you don’t feel sparkly today. It’s cool if you’re not feeling it. Step back for a bit.⁣
⁣
There’s just one problem: You already sparkle. Maybe you don’t see it, but others do. You belong, just like every star in this star cluster belongs.⁣
⁣
Individual stars closest to the center of a cluster may be hard to distinguish, but they’re special just the same. NASAHubble snapped this image of Caldwell 104 in 2017.⁣
⁣
Fast facts: ⁣
• Stars seen here are clumped together by gravity⁣
• It resides 16,700 light-years away in the constellation Tucana (The Toucan)⁣
• The Milky Way contains over 150 star clusters⁣
