The Hubble Space Telescope's evidence of an "intermediate-sized" black hole about 6000 light-years away in the closest ...
How do stars form and evolve inside globular clusters? This is what a recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of researchers conducted a ...
August evenings in the Northern Hemisphere are prime for seeking out globular star clusters. Among the brightest and best for northerners is the Hercules Cluster (M13), which British astronomer Thomas ...
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows the globular cluster Fornax 2 in the dwarf galaxy Fornax. New observations of this cluster and three others in the galaxy show that they are very ...
Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers have observed a globular cluster known as NGC 1754 as part of a systematic study of the most massive and compact clusters in the Large Magellanic ...
Globular clusters aren’t considered galaxies because they are gravitationally bound to and orbiting galaxies like the Milky Way, and they have relatively small masses. When comparing the two, a ...
This article was originally published on The Conversation. Read the original article. One of the most fundamental questions in modern astrophysics is how galaxies first formed. The Milky Way, the ...
A strange, newly measured clump of stars orbiting the nearby Andromeda galaxy has the lowest level of heavy chemical elements ever seen in one of these mysterious star clusters. Named RBC EXT8, this ...
Globular clusters are like astronomical coelacanths — mysterious living fossils. These densely packed collections of ancient stars may hold the ultimate secrets to the formation of galaxies. When you ...
In a galaxy not so far away, astronomers have located a surprising source of a mysterious, rapid radio signal. The signal, a repeating fast radio burst, or FRB, was observed over several months in ...
