“While clusters of stars appear in clusters, as the name implies, streams form linear patterns. Streams are named Theja, which is the Greek goddess of sight and heavenly light. Astronomers on the study used data taken from the ESA Gaia space telescope to specifically study Theia 456 and discovered that 468 stars in the stream were born simultaneously.”
