Star clusters are collections of hundreds to millions of stars that were born at the same time from the same cloud of gas. This shared origin makes star clusters unique tools for understanding how stars form and evolve and are useful for studying the major chapters in the history of their host galaxy. We need the help of citizen scientists to identify clusters in images of the Andromeda Galaxy taken by the Hubble Space Telescope as part of the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT) survey.
