A globular cluster has between 1,000 and a million stars gravitationally bound.
Unfortunately, there are many types of nebula.
Each 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.

globular cluster
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).
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.

Globular ClusterA huge group of stars that are close together is a star cluster. With many more stars it is a galaxy.
False. A quasar is not a type of globular cluster. Quasars are extremely energetic and remote celestial objects powered by supermassive black holes, while globular clusters are tightly bound groups of stars that orbit galaxies.
A cluster of stars that looks like a ball and contains up to 1 million stars is called a globular cluster. These clusters are densely packed groups of stars bound together by gravity and can be found in the halos of galaxies.
Globular ClusterA huge group of stars that are close together is a star cluster. With many more stars it is a galaxy.
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.
The type of star cluster where stars are most densely packed in a somewhat spherical pattern is called a globular cluster. These clusters contain thousands to millions of stars tightly bound by gravity, often resulting in a dense core. Globular clusters are typically older and found in the halos of galaxies, contrasting with open clusters, which are less dense and more loosely organized.
Astronomers believe the globular clusters are made of old stars because of the lack of heavy elements. The heavy element is very abundant in stars like our sun, so the theory is the globular cluster must be older and formed in a more primitive universe.
