The brightest stars in a young open cluster will be/
Question asked by: u00sxc6
Asked on: 23 Oct 2009
The massive stars will burn up their fuel quickest due to the huge gravity making the fusion happen quickly, therefore these will shine the brightest in the galaxy.
Stars like our sun that are a smaller size use their fuel much more slowly and therefore live longer, therefore the radiation they give out is not as bright.
