'The results of our study provide the first solid evidence that globular clusters formed through multiple star-formation events and place fundamental constraints on the dynamical path followed by the ...

A study published today in Astronomy & Astrophysics marks a significant milestone in our understanding of the formation and dynamical evolution of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters ...

The formation of the Milky Way is one event that we’re no able to physically observe (obviously). We’re inside the galaxy at its current point in history, and so we can see how it currently looks. We ...

Stars shine like diamonds in this week’s image from the Hubble Space Telescope, which shows globular cluster Terzan 9. Located in the constellation of Sagittarius, Terzan 9 is relatively close to the ...

A redetermination of the radial velocity and distance of the globular cluster NGC 5694 reveals that with .respect to the galactic center it lies at r = 26 ± 5 kpc with a velocity of vcl ≤ -273 ± 19 km ...

Welcome to the Daily Telescope. There is a little too much darkness in this world and not enough light, a little too much pseudoscience and not enough science. We'll let other publications offer you a ...

Looking out into the Milky Way, it's possible to see all sorts of strange cosmic structures — tentacle-like spiraling arms of stars in the outer regions of the galaxy, dark clouds of gas and dust that ...
