Hubble Gazes at Colorful Cluster of Scattered Stars
The scattered stars of the globular cluster NGC 6355 are strewn across this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.Andrea Gianopoulos (NASA)
Hello I have questions like if that star cluster was contained in a sphere, what's its radius? How many stars are there? What is the average distance between stars? What happens to star clusters over time?
I'll take me answers off the air, thanks.
