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.
Open star cluster located approximately 385 light years from Earth.
The faint reflection nebulosity (forming the Maia and Merope Nebulae) visible around the hot blue stars is caused by light from the stars reflecting off dust in the surrounding interstellar medium.

NGC 869 and NGC 884 are open star clusters in the constellation Perseus. .At a distance of 7500 light years the clusters lie within the Perseus arm of the Milky Way.

A perfect demonstration of why the collective noun for grasshoppers is 'cluster'. ('Cloud', 'swarm' and 'plague' are also used.)
Presentation by José Juez, General Manager of the Basque
Aerospace Cluter HEGAN. Success keys and future challenges
of the Basque aerospace cluster.
Until the beginning of the 1980s, there was no significant tradition in the aerospace industry in the Basque Country. The initiative of a handful of people from local firms and the support of the Government gave rise to the cluster. After an impressive growth over the last 20 years, the Basque aerospace cluster Members forms today an important part of the global value chains supplying the world's leading aircraft manufacturers.

Heavy clusters of mejool dates hang from a palm tree until they’re ripe. Each sugary date probably contains as many calories and carbs as half a candy bar. Diabetes has become epidemic in Oman.
This is a pattern for FOUR small CUTE and QUICK crochet flowers perfect by itself or as a finishing touch for your projects!
From foremost flower counter-clockwise:
1. PUNY PUFF FLower
2. 3D POINTED-CENTER Flower
3. OPEN PUFF Flower
4. 2D CLUSTER Flower (the red one)
From a long, early evening dog walk early last autumm, these incredibly tiny and delicate clusters of flowers were growing in a beautiful flower garden a few blocks from my house.
They were very, very, VERY small, to the point that it was hard to even get my camera to focus on them!
Each one of these clusters would be about fingernail-sized, I would say.
Anyone have any idea what they are?
Hope you are all having a great weekend!
This is attractive star cluster Messier 67, often overlooked for its more illustrious neighbour Messier 44 - the 'Beehive' cluster.
The image is a LRGB sequence taken on the night of 10 January 2015 using a 130mm triplet APO refractor at f5.2 with a Riccardi reducer and my Atik383L+ mono CCD with LRGB filters.

There were many more cluster photos, but there's only so much cluster photos one can take before one tires of clusters.
