A star group is a collection of stars that appear close to each other in the sky or are physically related in space. This term can refer to open clusters, globular clusters, or loose stellar associations. Members of a star group often share a common origin, similar age, and comparable chemical composition, having formed from the same molecular cloud. Astronomers study star groups to understand stellar evolution, the structure of our galaxy, and the processes of star formation. In everyday language, a star group can also simply describe a noticeable pattern or gathering of stars visible to the naked eye.
