gwiazda
planeta
kometa
kwazar
Błękitni maruderzy to gwiazdy, które są znacznie gorętsze i bardziej błękitne, niż inne gwiazdy gromady, przez co wydają się znacznie młodsze. Gwiazdy te po raz pierwszy zaobserwował Allan Sandage w 1953 r. w gromadzie Messier 3. Najjaśniejszym błękitnym maruderem na ziemskim niebie jest theta Carinae w gwiazdozbiorze Kila. Z masą powyżej 10 mas Słońca theta Carinae zakończy życie w eksplozji supernowej.
