Cluster IV (Trees) by Ernest Shaw. It is part of the Martin H. Bush Outdoor Sculpture Collection on the campus of Wichita State University.

Santa Barbara Monarch butterflies winter near the ocean, hanging out in a grove of eucalyptus trees on an ocean bluff in Goleta, California. The preserve is known as the Ellwood Monarch Preserve, which is juxtaposed with the Coronado Monarch Preserve. The butterflies gather in tight clusters to fend off cold. The area they prefer to hang is above a gully which helps drain cold air away.

This is what saw when I went to the kitchen in the morning: a cluster of branches!!
Then I understood it was my neighbour's idea.

The famous double star clusters in Perseus, NGC 884 and NGC 869, also known as h & χ Persei (or simply χ Persei). Taken at ~175 mm (500 frames * 3 sec) and processed in DeepSkyStacker.
Our new cluster!!! 16 dual-core cube PC's ready to crunch some data. Not the fasted in the world, but it'll do us! ;) All we need to do now is get it set-up properly... :-/
Some cluster earrings I made with leftover beads from my wedding projects. They look really good on.
The Eucalyptus trees are just filled with thousands of butterflies - when it's warm they fly all around and lucky us it was a nice warm day
In celebration of 20, 000 Views. A big thank you to all my friends!
Thanks to fouramjava and joeysplantings for the identification of this plant.
Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of the globular cluster Messier 28.
Original caption: This Hubble Picture of the Week shows Messier 28, a globular cluster in the constellation of Sagittarius (The Archer), in jewel-bright detail. It is about 18 000 light-years away from Earth. As its name suggests, this cluster belongs to the Messier catalogue of objects — however, when astronomer Charles Messier first added Messier 28 to his list in 1764, he catalogued it incorrectly, referring to it as a “[round] nebula containing no star”. While today we know nebulae to be vast, often glowing clouds of interstellar dust and ionised gases, until the early twentieth century a nebula represented any astronomical object that was not clearly localised and isolated. Any unidentified hazy light source could be called a nebula. In fact, all 110 of the astronomical objects identified by Messier were combined under the title of the Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters. He classified many objects as diverse as star clusters and supernova remnants as nebulae. This includes Messier 28, pictured here — which, ironically, is actually a star cluster. Messier’s mistake is understandable. Whilst Messier 28 is easily recognisable as a globular stellar cluster in this image, it is far less recognisable from Earth. Even with binoculars it is only visible very faintly, as the distorting effects of the Earth’s atmosphere reduce this luminous ancient cluster to a barely visible smudge in the sky. One would need larger telescopes to resolve single stars in Messier 28. Fortunately, from space Hubble allows Messier 28 to be seen in all its beauty — far more than a faint, shapeless, nebulous cloud.
The Pleiades, using my 70-300mm lens, on tripod. At 70mm. I like this shot. I couldn't pick that detail out with my naked eye.
