... February 25, 1999 . NGC 6712: Galactic Globular Cluster . ... Explanation: Following orbits which loop high above the galactic plane , globular star clusters are probably 12 to 14 billion years old - truly ancient denizens of our Milky Way Galaxy. ... One of about 150 globular clusters known to be members of the Milky Way, NGC 6712 is thought to have crossed through the crowded galactic plane only a few million years ago. ... About APOD > . ...

These clusters are probably young versions of globular clusters, but they are commonly called super star clusters. Seven dwarf galaxies within 16 million light-years have formed super star clusters, with one of these galaxies, NGC 1569, possessing two young clusters. ... Super star clusters have a lot to tell us about star formation. ...

... February 22, 1999 . NGC 1316: After Galaxies Collide . ... WFPC2 , HST , NASA . ... A preliminary inspection indicates that NGC 1316 is an enormous elliptical galaxy that started devouring a smaller spiral galaxy neighbor about 100 million years ago. ... Most elliptical galaxies have more and brighter globular clusters than evident in NGC 1316 . ... One hypothesis therefore holds that these globulars survive from an even earlier galaxy that was subsumed into NGC 1316. ... About APOD > . ...

Stellar Clusters are very useful laboratories for empirically studying stellar evolution. ... All cluster stars are at the same distance . All cluster stars have the same physical age . ... CM diagram Young Cluster In this case we see the Main Sequence fully represented. The blue dots represent massive stars with short main sequence lifetimes. ... Thus, identifying the most massive star which is still on the main sequence is an effective means of determining the age of a stellar cluster. ...
