There are two types of star clusters. Globular clusters are tight groups of hundreds of thousands of very old stars which are gravitationally bound, while open clusters, are more loosely clustered, generally containing less than a few hundred stars, and are usually very young.

What is a smaller group of stars within a constellation.?
It can be called a star cluster, an open cluster or an asterism.
In what type of star cluster are the stars grouped together in a loose formation with a wide variety of distances between each star?
open cluster
In which type of star cluster are the stars grouped together in a loose formation with a wide variety of distances between each star?
The type of star cluster where stars are grouped together in a loose formation with a wide variety of distances between each star is called an open cluster. Open clusters typically contain a few dozen to a few thousand stars and are often found in the arms of spiral galaxies. They are characterized by their relatively young age and lack of a dense core, allowing for the more scattered arrangement of stars. Examples of open clusters include the Pleiades and the Hyades.
In which type of star cluster are the stars more densely packed forming a somewhat spherical pattern?
globular cluster
What is a group that is closer together than the surrounding stars is called an?
A group of stars that are closer together than the surrounding stars is called a star cluster. Star clusters can be divided into two main types: open clusters and globular clusters, with open clusters being more loosely bound than globular clusters.
What is the name of a group of 1000 stars?
Constellation or "asterism". The difference is that "constellations" are officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union, while an "asterism" is any other pattern or grouping of stars.

open cluster
Which is larger a star or a star cluster?
A star cluster is a cluster of stars, so clearly a star cluster must be larger.
What is Brightest star of a open cluster?
Some of the brightest stars in the open cluster are found in the "Plough" or the "Ursa Major" just like the Epilson Ursai Majoris.
Which type of star cluster are the stars more densely packed forming a somewhat spherical pattern?
globular cluster
In which type of star cluster are the stars more densely packed forming a somewhat spherical pattern?
globular cluster
What is a misty group of stars called?
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).
Which kinds of stars are most common in a newly formed star cluster?
In a newly formed star cluster, low-mass stars like red dwarfs are the most common. These stars are more abundant than more massive stars like giants or supergiants. The cluster will typically have a range of stellar masses, but low-mass stars dominate in numbers.
What is a group that is closer together than the surrounding stars is called an?
A group of stars that are closer together than the surrounding stars is called a star cluster. Star clusters can be divided into two main types: open clusters and globular clusters, with open clusters being more loosely bound than globular clusters.
