What do you call a group of baby stars?

Answer 1

That would probably be a globular cluster. (A galaxy usually has more stars than that - from several million to several billion stars.)

Answer 2

Constellation :)

Answer 3

Constellation-- A configuration of stars as seen from the Earth

Galaxy-- a collection of star systems; any of the billions of systems each having many stars and nebulae and dust. Groups of stars can be called 'clusters' if they are groups of up to 1,000 stars.

Answer 4

Our Milky Way has several hundred billion stars; most of the stars you see in the sky are part of our Milky Way. Just check for the brightest star in each constellation, or the brightest stars (in apparent magnitude), to get a few names.

Answer 5

Major groups can be called constellations. There are constellations that cover the entire sky; every point of the sky is located within one of them. The constellations serve the purpose of making it much easier to locate points of interest. Smaller groups are usually called clusters. The presumption is that you are not asking about galaxies, which are groups of billions of stars.

Answer 6

A Cluster. Any grouping of stars is usually known as a star cluster. There is no specific name for a star. Stars are usually named by their hotness, brightness, or size (ie. Wite Dwarf, Red Giant). Color and size usually are indicative of the star's age. Generally speaking, white dwarf's are typically the "Baby Stars" you asked about. They burn HOT and usually die young as well. All stars are born inside stallar phenomena known as nebulae.

Answer 7

They can be called a constellation, these are in fact very far apart and make up recognisable patterns in the sky.

They can be called clobular Clusters these are small irregular galaxies.

or they can be called Galaxies.

Answer 8

There are 88 recognized "constellations" cataloged by the IAU, the International Astronomical Union. Additionally, there are a number of unofficial groupings called "asterisms" which are composed of only a few of the stars in a constellation or are composed of stars from more than one constellation. Almost every culture had their own asterisms, and a selection from all of them were adopted as the "official" 88.

For example, the star grouping called the "Big Dipper" is not an official constellation. It is an asterism. The official constellation which CONTAINS the Big Dipper is Ursa Major, the "Great Bear".

Answer 9

There are as many as 400 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy.

Only a few thousand of them have been named.

A few of those are:

Sol

Mira

Procyon

Sirius

Betelgeuse

Rigel

Mizar

Alcor

Kochab

Deneb

Vega

Altair

Albireo

Arcturus

Canopus

Fomalhaut

Aldeberan

Polaris

Albert (a 14th mag star in Orion, named by my wife)

Answer 10

Yes, many of them. We can't be even vaguely sure about how many stars there are; somewhere between 400 billion and one TRILLION stars is probably close.

The problem is that we don't have even a decent guess as to what percentage of all stars are the tiny, almost invisibly dim red dwarf and brown dwarf types.
