A new image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a stunning field of thousands of stars, part of a globular star cluster called Terzan 12. These groups of stars are bound together by gravity, in a ...
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 ...
Globular clusters maintain their structural integrity primarily due to the angular momentum of their constituent stars, preventing gravitational collapse towards the cluster's center of mass. While ...
TORONTO, ON, CANADA (September 29, 2022) – Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers from the CAnadian NIRISS Unbiased Cluster Survey (CANUCS) team have identified the most distant ...
Astronomers just found a sparkly Easter egg in the James Webb Space Telescope’s very first image: several teeming star clusters that may contain some of the oldest stars in the universe. A globular ...
There is little I love more than gazing at a glittering globular cluster through a big, juicy Dob. The larger the mirror, the better! Each cluster looks a little different, and resolving individual ...
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 ...
How would you like to see about a million stars, all crammed together in a tight ball in our Rochester night sky? Well you can do just that. The Great Hercules star cluster is one of the true ...
While the James Webb Space Telescope is already revealing new insights into the deepest recesses of the visible universe, the Hubble Space Telescope is far from obsolete, as a new photo of the Terzan ...
The Hubble Space Telescope finessed the light beaming in from outside our galaxy, and the result is a fabulous image where individual stars are seen in a big embrace. When thousands or even millions ...
