some beautiful star clusters seen by hubble ✨

$Several stars with pointed diffraction spikes gleam in shades of white, orange, and blue against a black backdrop of space.$ $Thousands of bright stars shine against black space, more tightly condensed near the image’s center. The stars glint in shades of white, blue, and red, and diffraction spikes are visible around the foreground stars.$ $A cluster of stars in warm and cool colors. The whole view is filled with small stars, which become much denser and brighter around a core just right of center. Most of the stars are small, but some are larger with a round, brightly colored glow and four sharp diffraction spikes. Behind the stars, a dark background can be seen.$ $This star cluster features several orange stars packed together near the center and growing more sporadic toward the image's edges. In the foreground, bigger blue stars with diffraction spikes shine, all against a black backdrop of space.$
