The "Eagle Nebula" cluster of stars is classified as being part of a diffuse emission nebula. It can be found in the "Serpens" constellation of stars and is thought to be around 5.5 million years old.
The Eagle Nebula is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens. It is called this because it's shape looks like an eagle.It is well know because of the award winning photograph - Pillars of Creation.See related link for more information.
Another popular nebula is the Eagle Nebula, also known as Messier 16. It is located in the constellation Serpens and is famous for the "Pillars of Creation," which are towering columns of interstellar gas and dust where new stars are forming.
The Cocoon Nebula, also known as IC 5146, is a reflection and emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is a region in space where new stars are forming, surrounded by gas and dust clouds. The nebula gets its name because it appears like a cocoon with a bright cluster of young stars at its center.
The star cluster called Pleiades is also known as the Seven Sisters. It's scientific name is Messier 45, is in the constellation Taurus and the closest star cluster to Earth. The cluster is also called Maia Nebula, after one of the stars.
A misty group of stars is referred to as a star cluster. Star clusters are groups of stars that are gravitationally bound together and can be classified as either open clusters (loose grouping of stars) or globular clusters (more densely packed grouping of stars).
It gives birth to stars!

A globular cluster has between 1,000 and a million stars gravitationally bound.Unfortunately, there are many types of nebula.EmissionReflectionDiffuse (Emission and Reflection joined)DarkPlanetarySupernovaEach with a varying number of stars from 1 to many. It all depends on the size of the nebula and how many new stars have been formed.In all likelihood, but not certain, a globular cluster will contain the most stars.
That can be a large globular cluster, or a galaxy. Or any larger structure that includes galaxies.

No, a nebula is a place where stars are born. Stars and clouds are very different.

An apparent grouping of stars (as the Big Dipper) is an asterism, formerly called a constellation. (A constellation is now a bordered area of sky, equivalent to a state on a political map). Stars which are actaully associated, may be a cluster, a nebula or a galaxy.
A misty group of stars is referred to as a star cluster. Star clusters are groups of stars that are gravitationally bound together and can be classified as either open clusters (loose grouping of stars) or globular clusters (more densely packed grouping of stars).
There was a cluster of stars that the astronomers were studying carefully.
