  The ability of HST to resolve objects ten times smaller than possible from
the ground has rejuvenated the study of young star clusters. A recurrent
morphological theme found in nearby resolved sytems is the observation of young
(typically 1 - 10 Myr), massive (10**3 - 10**4 M_sun), compact (rho ~ 10**5
M_sun/pc**3) clusters which have evacuated the gas and dust from a spherical
region around themselves. New stars are being triggered into formation along
the edges of the envelopes, with pillars (similar to the Eagle Nebula) of
molecular gas streaming away from the the regions of star formation. The
prototype for these objects is 30 Doradus. Another major theme has been the
discovery of large numbers of young (typically 1 - 500 Myr), massive (10**3 -
10**7 M_sun), compact star clusters in merging, starbursting, and even some
barred and spiral galaxies. The brightest of these clusters have all the
attributes expected of protoglobular clusters, hence allowing us to study the
formation of globular clusters in the local universe rather than trying to
ascertain how they formed ~14 Gyr ago. The prototype is the Antennae Galaxy.
