New Evidence of Supermassive Stars in Globular Clusters
Today, astronomers announced a major breakthrough in our understanding of the structure of globular clusters. For the first time, evidence has been found to suggest that supermassive stars at the center of globular clusters may be responsible for the clusters’ unique shape. Using the Hubble Space Telescope, the team of astronomers observed a globular cluster and made an incredible discovery - a supermassive star with an estimated mass 40,000 times larger than the sun. This star is believed to be the driving force behind the globular clusters’ unique shape, and this discovery could help scientists better understand the structure and evolution of globular clusters.
