Swarms of tightly packed stars, numbering in the thousands to low millions, globular clusters are cosmic fossils, relics of the early times of our galaxy. Omega Centauri may actually be the core of a smaller galaxy ripped apart and assimilated by our own Milky Way in the distant past. ...

... The department was founded in late sixties by Prof. D.Ya.Martynov, who for many years was also the director of Sternberg Astronomical Institute. At present time, the head of the department is Prof. A.M.Cherepashchuk, a pupil of D.Ya.Martynov and his successor as the director of SAI. Since Prof. Martynov, the scientific activity of the department was primarily related to binary stars. ... The department consists of 15 members most of which have Ph.D. in Astrophysics. ...

... 3C294: Distant X Ray Galaxy Cluster . ... Astronomers now realize that a hallmark of these cosmic behemoths are gas clouds with temperatures of tens of millions of degrees that pervade the clusters and radiate strongly in x-rays. This Chandra Observatory image centered on a radio galaxy cataloged as 3C294 indeed reveals the telltale hot x-ray gas in an hourglass shaped region surrounding the dominant galaxy and shows the presence of a massive galaxy cluster in the distant universe . ...

A Canadian and American team of Astronomers have used the 305-m wide Arecibo radio dish, the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope, to uncover a dozen new super-fast-spinning pulsars. The team directed their search for these rare and exotic stars by pointing the Arecibo radio telescope towards massive star clusters, called Globular Clusters, orbiting our Milky Way galaxy. ... One of the most exotic residents in the Globular cluster system are the millisecond pulsars. ...
