In dwarf galaxies, they are believed to form from the merger of smaller star clusters, called globular clusters, after they migrate to the galaxy center. However, no such merger of globular ...

NGC 1858: Set against a backdrop littered with tiny pinpricks of light glint a few, brighter stars, this is NGC 1858, a 10-million-year-old open star cluster. Globular cluster in Dorado ...

Astro Brief is a collaboration between KSMU, the Missouri Space Grant, and MSU's Department of Physics, Astronomy and ...

From the images we identify 60 other candidate compact star clusters in NGC 4449. Fourteen of these could be background elliptical galaxies or old globular star clusters. Of the star clusters, three, ...

The observed clusters had similar features to other globular clusters, suggesting Hubble was witnessing star clusters growing through the cannibalization of globular clusters at the cores of dwarf ...

In each globular cluster, all stars formed simultaneously from the same cloud of gas. The Milky Way has approximately 150 known clusters. However, another type of star group has been garnering ...
