Star cluster or Stellar cluster.
Star cluster or Stellar cluster.
No, it is a galaxy. A stellar cluster is an object that is much smaller than a galaxy, and contains a few thousand stars, up to about a million or so. A galaxy cluster, on the other hand, is a group of galaxies, not a single galaxy.
The Pleiades is called a stellar nursery because it is a young open star cluster where new stars are being formed. The intense gravitational interactions among the stars in this cluster can trigger the birth of new stars from surrounding gas and dust clouds. This makes it a region where new stars are born, similar to how a nursery is a place where babies are born and cared for.
a galaxy :) _________________________ A stellar "cluster" would also be accurate. There are a great number of clusters of different types in the galaxy. Or, for a non-astronomical answer, "a dictionary".

"Stellar" means "related to a star", so you can use it in expressions such as "stellar wind", "stellar atmosphere", "stellar fusion", etc.
We'll never know. Small galaxies are easy to overlook in the distances of space, and can be misidentified. At some point, there's not much difference between a "small galaxy" and a "large cluster". For example, is the "Small Magellanic Cloud" a small galaxy, or just a large stellar cluster orbiting the Milky Way?
