It offers a novel observational account of their long-term evolution from formation to the present and their kinematic characteristics (i.e., how stars move within globular clusters ...

The new research has provided astronomers with the most detailed description of how stars move within globular clusters, and ...

The clusters may eventually evolve into massive star systems over millions of years. Despite the overall star formation efficiency in the CMZ being similar to that of other active star-forming ...

Discovered by Charles Messier in 1764, M20 is a star-forming nebula located 9,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius. The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42 or NGC 1976) ...

This week’s small-telescope target is globular cluster NGC 2808 in the southern constellation Carina the Keel. It shines at magnitude 6.2 and has a diameter of 13.8′. That means it covers 20 ...
