A recent breakthrough in galactic astrophysics has revealed the existence of a large number of young star clusters in a previously unexplored region of the Milky Way. These clusters, dubbed “ultra-young clusters” are significantly younger than previously observed star clusters, with ages ranging from only 10 million years to less than a million years old. These ultra-young clusters are thought to have been formed by the merging of giant molecular clouds in the Milky Way, and could provide new insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies.
