Stars can regulate their growth when they are part of a bigger group called a cluster.
Once stars get very big and bright, they can blow most of the gas out of the cluster.
This prevents too many new stars from forming, controlling the stellar family’s size.
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes examined a large gas cloud for this finding.
