What are the key differences between open and globular clusters in terms of their structure and composition?
Open clusters are loosely bound groups of young stars that are found in the disk of a galaxy, while globular clusters are tightly packed groups of old stars that are found in the halo of a galaxy. Open clusters have fewer stars and are more spread out, while globular clusters have many more stars and are more densely packed. In terms of composition, open clusters contain mostly young, hot stars with higher metal content, while globular clusters contain mostly old, cool stars with lower metal content.
What are the key differences between open clusters and globular clusters in terms of their composition, size, and age?
Open clusters are younger, contain fewer stars, and are less densely packed than globular clusters. Globular clusters are older, have more stars, and are more tightly bound together. Additionally, open clusters are typically found in the disk of a galaxy, while globular clusters are located in the halo.
What are things in space?
EVERYTHING galaxies, nebulae, stars, planets, milky way, star clusters, globular clusters and much more
What are the two population stars in the milky way?
Population I stars are young and luminous like the Sun. Population II stars consist of globular clusters that are generally much older.
Are globular clusters small asteroid-like bodies that formed the building blocks of the planets?
No, globular clusters are large groups of stars that formed together at the same time. They are much larger and contain thousands to millions of stars, unlike small asteroids, and were not the building blocks of planets.
What is a tight group of older stars located in the halo of spiral galaxies is?
That is a globular cluster. These clusters are spherical collections of stars that orbit around the center of a galaxy in its halo. They are typically made up of thousands to millions of stars that are much older than the stars found in the disk of the galaxy.
What are the key differences between an open cluster and a globular cluster in terms of their structure and characteristics?
Oh, I see you're exploring the wonders of the cosmos! Open clusters are like a cozy group of friends, they have fewer stars and tend to be younger and more spread out. Globular clusters, on the other hand, are like a grand family reunion with thousands of stars tightly packed together, and they tend to be much older. Remember, each one is unique and beautiful in its own special way. Keep exploring, friend, and let your curiosity guide you to new discoveries.
Does a star cluster have more stars than a open star cluster?
There are two types of star clusters. Globular clusters are tight groups of hundreds of thousands of very old stars which are gravitationally bound, while open clusters, are more loosely clustered, generally containing less than a few hundred stars, and are usually very young.
Is a nebula bigger than a globular cluster?
I can't say yes, and I can't say no. The reason is because Nebulas can beenormous, it'sridiculous! But clusters are normally bigger than nebulas so on my opinion I'd say no. But if you are on a test or homework and nebula is bigger, then just go with that.
Did Shapley used the distribution of globular clusters in the galaxy to determine that the Sun was not at the center of the Milky Way?
Yes, Shapley used the distribution of globular clusters in the galaxy to show that the center of the Milky Way was located much farther away than previously thought. By studying the positions and distances of these clusters, he was able to demonstrate that the Sun was not at the center of the galaxy.
How old is star cluster?
1000000000 to 10000000000000000000000000000000000
What is a globular cluster?
A globular cluster is a dense group of old stars within a galaxy that have formed a gravity bound spherical shape. They are composed of hundreds of thousands of stars that orbit the center of the galaxy together as a unit. We we don't know a lot about them. There are between one and two hundred globular clusters in the Milky Way, and thousands in very large galaxies, all hanging out around the galactic core. Wikipedia has more information, and a link posted below will take the curious reader over there. Why not drop by and look at the picture of Messier 80 that was put up by our friends?
