Hubble Telescope Uncovers the Secrets of a Glittering Globular Cluster
A recent study conducted by the Hubble Space Telescope has dispelled a long-held theory about globular clusters. Globular clusters are ancient collections of stars, typically located in the halo of our Milky Way galaxy, and they have long been thought to be composed solely of old stars. However, the study conducted by Hubble has revealed that a few of these clusters have a much younger population of stars than previously believed. This discovery challenges the idea that all globular clusters are composed of stars that were formed at the same time and suggests that the Milky Way’s globular clusters may have been formed in a more complex manner than previously thought. The implications of this study could provide a new insight into the formation and evolution of our Milky Way galaxy.
