Editing Star cluster (section)

==Nomenclature==
In 1979, the [[International Astronomical Union]]'s 17th general assembly recommended that newly discovered star clusters, open or globular, within the Galaxy have designations following the convention "Chhmm±ddd", always beginning with the prefix ''C'', where ''h'', ''m'', and ''d'' represent the approximate coordinates of the cluster centre in hours and minutes of [[right ascension]], and degrees of [[declination]], respectively, with leading zeros. The designation, once assigned, is not to change, even if subsequent measurements improve on the location of the cluster centre.<ref name="IAU 17GA 1979">{{cite conference
