 With the exception of supernovae , individual stars have primarily been observed in the Local Group , and especially in the visible part of the Milky Way ( as demonstrated by the detailed star catalogues available for our galaxy ) . But some stars have been observed in the M100 galaxy of the Virgo Cluster , about 100 million light years from the Earth . In the Local Supercluster it is possible to see star clusters , and current telescopes could in principle observe faint individual stars in the Local Group ( see Cepheids ) . However , outside the Local Supercluster of galaxies , neither individual stars nor clusters of stars have been observed . The only exception is a faint image of a large star cluster containing hundreds of thousands of stars located at a distance of one billion light years — ten times further than the most distant star cluster previously observed .

W/ the exception of supernovae , individual stars done primarily been observed in the Local Group , and especially in da visible part of tdaMilky Way ( as demonstrated by thdaetailed star catalogues available fa our galaxy ) . But some stars done been observed in the M100 galaxy of the Virgo Cluster , abt 100 million light years from thedarth . In the Local Supercluster it possible to see star clusters , and current telescopes could in principle observe faint individual stars in the daal Group ( see Cepheids ) . However , outside the Ldal Supercluster of galaxies , neither individual stars nor clusters of stars done been observed . The only exception a faint image of a bigass star cluster containing hundreds of thousands of stars located at a distance of one billion light years — ten times further than the most distant star cluster previously observed .
