Where's that?
It's a star cluster. It is a large group of stars held together by self-gravitation. It may contain from tens to hundreds of thousands and sometimes million stars close to each other. There are hundreds of star clusters in our galaxy Milky Way.Where's that?
What really blows my mind, is that some, perhaps most of the stars we see are not stars, but galaxies. Filled with billions of stars.It's a star cluster.

You know the old Hubble Deep Field photo from 1995 that contains over 3,000 galaxies? You know how large an area of the night sky that image represents? Hold a dime at arm's length and look at Roosevelt's eye. That's the size of the area of sky seen in that image, which prior to that image was believed to be empty.What really blows my mind, is that some, perhaps most of the stars we see are not stars, but galaxies.

Like this picture.
Great image.
I know, thanks. Hence the question where, not what.It's a star cluster.
There are roughly more than 100 billion of galaxies in the observable universe, each one containing hundreds of billions to trillions of stars.You know the old Hubble Deep Field photo from 1995 that contains over 3,000 galaxies?
