Mysterious Theft of 10 Globular Clusters from the Milky Way
Astronomers have just made an astonishing discovery - the Milky Way has had its globular clusters stolen! Until now, it was thought that the Milky Way had 147 globular clusters, but a recent study by astronomers has revealed that the Milky Way is actually missing 10 globular clusters. These missing globular clusters are believed to have been stolen by other galaxies. The study used data from the Hubble Space Telescope in order to identify the missing globular clusters, which were found to be orbiting our own galaxy and other galaxies in the Local Group. It’s an incredible discovery that changes our understanding of the Milky Way and its interactions with other galaxies.
