Globular clusters contain the most stars compared to the other types of star systems listed. A globular cluster can contain hundreds of thousands to millions of stars bound together by gravity, whereas open clusters usually contain fewer stars (dozens to a few thousand), binary star systems consist of just two stars, and eclipsing binaries are a specific type of binary system where one star passes in front of another, causing periodic dimming, which also involves only two stars.
Which type of star system has the most stars?
open cluster
globular cluster
