Glittering images of stars captured by NASA Hubble telescope

This picture taken with the Hubble Space Telescope features the bright globular cluster Terzan 12, which is a large group of stars that are closely packed together.
Situated in the Milky Way's satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud is home to this 100 million-year-old globular cluster, which serves as the cradle for several billion stars.
In this picture, the rusty-red tones of the gas and dust clouds are broken by the brilliant, blue-white stars of the open cluster BSDL 2757.
This image of the globular cluster NGC 1805 taken with the Hubble Space Telescope shows a lot of colourful stars clustered together.
These brilliant stars, which appear to be a haze in the night sky, are a young stellar grouping located in one of the Large Magellanic Cloud's largest known star formation regions.
The open star cluster known as NGC 6611, which is comprised of these brilliant stars, originated in the well-known Eagle Nebula approximately 5.5 million years ago.
Situated approximately 8,000 light-years from Earth, the much larger emission nebula known as NGC 6357 contains the star cluster Pismis 24.
