A guide to finding Lynx and its hidden galaxies between Ursa Major and Auriga.

A stronomers report the discovery of a truly incredible object. They are calling it Candidate Dark Galaxy-2 (CDG-2), a ...

Globular clusters are ancient, spherical groups of stars that are often as old as the galaxies they orbit. The stars in a globular cluster orbit the center of mass of the cluster, and the angular ...

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has identified thousands of more than 5 billion years old globular clusters in the Virgo cluster of galaxies. One of the results of these discoveries led ...

It seems like the only things I have seen in the evening sky recently have been clouds. Although the garden plants are happy with the rain, my dogs are unhappy about the thunder. Whenever the sky does ...

A glittering multitude of stars in the globular cluster Terzan 4 fills this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Globular clusters are collections of stars bound together by their mutual ...

A globular cluster is a spherical collection of stars. Globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity, giving them their spherical shapes and high concentrations of stars toward their centers.

Globular clusters are the fossils of the astronomical world. We know they are very old, having formed shortly after the Big Bang. Furthermore, they must be pretty robust, since many have survived ...

The globular cluster Terzan 2 in the constellation Scorpio is featured in this observation from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Globular clusters are stable, tightly gravitationally bound ...
