In fact, though open star clusters are usually much younger, the stars of M67 are likely around 4 billion years old, about the same age and with about the same elemental abundances as the Sun. ... Still, M67 contains over 500 stars or so and lies some 2,800 light-years away in the constellation Cancer . ...

Many intermediate-age star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds exhibit very unusual features in their colour-magnitude diagrams that suggest they may have formed their stars over periods spanning hundreds of millions of years per cluster. ... Nonetheless, this interpretation is enticing in the context of the formation of ancient globular clusters, which almost always exhibit puzzling abundance patterns that apparently require multiple episodes of star formation to explain. ...

... We address a question if globular clusters (GC) in a protogalaxy could for some time evolve chemically as isolated systems, enriching themselves with heavy elements produced in first supernova events that follow initial star formation. We determine both the critical mass of a protoglobular cluster that is needed to retain the ejecta of the very first supernova, and the critical energy (i.e., number of supernovae) that is needed to expel the residual gas from a cluster of a given mass. ...
