Now, a University of Surrey-led study published in Nature has finally solved the mystery using detailed simulations—while also uncovering a new class of object that could already be in our own galaxy.
The globular clusters are among the oldest objects in the Universe. And they have been asking astronomers for centuries. But thanks to ultra-high resolution simulations, their secrets may well have been pierced. With a small surprise as a bonus...
