Astronomers have discovered what may be the first known example of a globular cluster about to be born - an incredibly massive and extremely dense yet star-free cloud of molecular gas. Globular clusters -- a dazzling group of up to a million ancient stars -- are among the oldest objects in the universe.
Washington: Astronomers have discovered what may be the first known example of a globular cluster about to be born - an incredibly massive and extremely dense yet star-free cloud of molecular gas. Globular clusters -- a dazzling group of up to a million ancient stars -- are among the oldest objects in the universe.
Though plentiful in and around many galaxies, newborn examples are rare and the conditions necessary to create new ones have never been detected till date. With Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimetre Array (ALMA) telescope, the astronomers were able to find and study in detail a pristine example of such an object before stars forever change its unique characteristics. Most globular clusters formed during a veritable "baby boom" around 12 billion years ago at a time when galaxies first assembled.
