unusual facts about globular cluster


Core collapse

Core collapse (cluster), the dynamic process that leads to a concentration of stars at the core of a Globular cluster.


Carbon planet

Carbon planets might also be located near the galactic core or globular clusters orbiting the galaxy, where stars have a higher carbon-to-oxygen ratio than the Sun.
