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 ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered what astronomers are reporting as the dimmest stars ever seen in any globular star cluster. Globular clusters are spherical concentrations of hundreds of ...

New research demonstrated a possible formation mechanism of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters, star clusters that could contain tens of thousands or even millions of tightly packed ...

At the fringes of our galaxy, a multitude of fine ribbons of stars, previously unnoticed, has just been discovered. This find ...

This image shows the center of the globular cluster Messier 22, also known as M22, as observed by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Globular clusters are spherical collections of densely packed ...

A spherical shape made from the pinpricks of light from closely packed stars revealed itself to the Hubble Space Telescope when the observatory recently peered into the constellation Mensa. Hubble ...

Hubble just shot this picture of M13, a “globular cluster” of 100,000 stars all whirling around in extremely close proximity to each other. This cluster, which is about 150 light-years across, would ...

'The results of our study provide the first solid evidence that globular clusters formed through multiple star-formation events and place fundamental constraints on the dynamical path followed by the ...
