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?

No, a globular cluster is a group of stars that are part of a galaxy. The Virgo cluster is much bigger. It is a large nearby group of galaxies.
It is likely that many stars within a globular cluster may have planets.
That is called a globular cluster.

GLOBULAR CLUSTER look like you put a lot of dots together.

I suppose you confused the term "globular star cluster". It is the cluster (the group of stars) that is globular (approximately spherical). The term "globular" doesn't refer to the individual stars.
it is amazing
