A previously unexplored globular cluster glitters with multicolored stars in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image. Globular ...

Serpens the Serpent is unique among the constellations because it’s separated into two parts with Ophiuchus the Serpent-bearer between them. Serpens Caput (the head of the serpent) lies to the west of ...

No. 14 College of the Canyons softball has been eliminated from the postseason following a pair of road losses at No. 3 Palomar College May 2-3. Canyons (20-22) suffered an 8-0 five-inning loss in ...

Thanks to the Gemini South telescope, a team of astronomers has explored the heart of Gran 5, a globular cluster near the galactic center. And what they discovered changes our understanding of these ...

For the study, the researchers conducted a 3D kinematic analysis of stars and star populations within 16 Galactic globular clusters (GCs) to determine the movements of stars and star populations ...

Palomar 5 is not an ordinary star cluster. Classified as a globular cluster, it contains between 100,000 and 1 million ancient stars, often referred to as "fossils" from the early Universe.

Modern astronomy holds that all major galaxies (with the Milky Way as no exception) are the accumulation of numerous small mergers. Thus, it should be expected that some of the globular clusters ...

Just above and to the left of the topmost star in the lid of the teapot is M26, one of the brighter and easier globular clusters to find. Venus is still dominating the western sky after sunset.

We determine the elemental abundances of nine red giant stars belonging to Palomar 14 (Pal 14). Pal 14 is an outer halo globular cluster (GC) at a distance of \sim 70 kpc. Our abundance analysis is ...

As this image shows, the heart of a globular cluster such as Terzan 4 is a densely packed, crowded field of stars – which makes for spectacular images! The launch of Hubble in 1990 ...
