It is called simply a "globular cluster". Another possibility: The closely allied stars at the center of a galaxy tend to be older, redder stars than those in the outlying arms of the galaxy.
The type of star cluster where stars are most densely packed in a somewhat spherical pattern is called a globular cluster. These clusters contain thousands to millions of stars tightly bound by gravity, often resulting in a dense core. Globular clusters are typically older and found in the halos of galaxies, contrasting with open clusters, which are less dense and more loosely organized.
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.
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?
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.
The Coma Cluster is known to contain a mix of elliptical and lenticular (S0) galaxies as its dominant types. These galaxies are characterized by their older stellar populations and lack of much ongoing star formation activity. Spirals and irregular galaxies are also present but in smaller numbers compared to elliptical and lenticular galaxies in the Coma Cluster.
I think you are describing a "globular cluster", which are associated with older stars by most astronomers.
A group of stars that form when a lot of gases and dust come together is called a star cluster. Star clusters can be either open clusters, which are loosely bound and contain young stars, or globular clusters, which are tightly bound and contain older stars.
Clusters of stars that all appear to lie at the same distance from us are called star clusters. There are two main types: open clusters, which contain young stars and are loosely bound together, and globular clusters, which contain older stars and are tightly packed.
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.
They are identical and Nick is older by seven minutes.
An expansive cloud of stars that are all formed from the same original matter is called a star cluster. These clusters can be divided into two main types: open clusters, which are loosely bound and contain young stars, and globular clusters, which are densely packed and contain older stars. Both types provide valuable insights into stellar evolution and the dynamics of star formation.
Global Cluster
no,k10042 is an older unit
A globular cluster. These dense spherical collections of stars are typically found around the outskirts of galaxies and are among the oldest known star groupings in the universe. Their red color is due to the abundance of older, cooler stars within the cluster.
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.
