... 2003 December 15 . Open Star Clusters M35 and NGC 2158 . ... NGC 2158 is four times more distant that M35 , over 10 times older, and much more compact as it contains many more stars in roughly the same volume of space. NGC 2158 's bright blue stars have self-destructed , leaving cluster light to be dominated by older and yellower star s. Both clusters are visible toward the constellation of Gemini -- M35 with binoculars and NGC 2158 with a small telescope. ... About APOD | ...

However others are less pessimistic and it has even been claimed that the mysterious ?Wow! signal? received in 1977 originated from the direction M55.б  Sadly, this still unexplained pulse of radio energy originated from a location rather to the northwest of M55 so I doubt if the source was this cluster (if indeed the signal was genuinely of extraterrestrial origin). ...

... BLUE STRAGGLER STARS are unusually hot and bright stars found in the cores of ancient star clusters known as globulars. ... BACKGROUND (from wikipedia): Blue straggler stars are stars in open or globular clusters that are hotter and bluer than other cluster stars having the same luminosity. ... There is evidence in favor of this view, notably that blue straggler stars appear to be much more common in dense regions of clusters, especially in the cores of globular clusters. ...

. Similar to an optical lens bending light to form an image, the galaxy cluster Abell 2218 is so massive and compact that light rays passing through it are deflected by its enormous gravitational field. This process (called gravitational lensing) magnifies, brightens, and distorts images of objects that lie far beyond the cluster. The thin arcs are distorted images of distant galaxies roughly 5-10 times farther than the cluster. A. Fruchter / STScI / NASA
