Hubble’s observations give to the forgotten globular grouping their moment to shine

A new impressive image captured by NASA’s The Hubble Space Telescope cast light on a guardian under the achievements and tragedies of our galactic neighbors. Adorned with stars with various shades, the spherical cluster shines amid the extent of the stars in our Milky Way Galaxia. This type of globular cluster is a very dense stars group – approximately the same mass as 100,000 suns – this orbit throughout the center of its galaxy. The stars in a cluster are typically approximately the same age, as they formed from the same cloud of collapse gas. In this new vision, the stars appear at temperatures indicated in red and blue colors: red for colder and blue for warmer stars.

Hubble Maps Forgotten Star Cluster ESO 591-12 to discover the ancient dairy road

According to report From the NASA Hubble team, ESO 591-12 was photographed during the missing globular clusters survey at the Hubble-A initiative directed at 34 Globular Agglomerates of the Milky Way that had never been observed by the space telescope. The goal is to build a comprehensive database of the ages, distances and star populations of all known global globular clusters and star formations. However, it has always been difficult for telescopes on Earth to choose individual stars in these densely populated regions; Therefore, Hubble’s high resolution did a lot to finally be able to track the movements of the stars to unlock their stories and formation.

ESO 591-12 data are part of a ongoing study to improve the knowledge of the formation and evolution of globular clusters in the galaxy’s bulge and halo. These star clusters are cosmic fossils that preserved cosmic conditions of the primordial universe. Their work helps build a more complete narrative of the evolution of the Milky Way And as it changed more than billions of years.

This new image is an additional example of how advanced space observation facilities are helping astronomers to excavate the contents of the dark and dusty skeleton hide the Milky Way and sculpt a better understanding of the evolution of the universe but also our cosmic home.
Each one tells part of astronomical history, and Hubble is digging new chapters to enrich history, such as investigating data to clusters as much as ESO 591-12, which have been neglected so far. This discovery increases our knowledge of the primitive universe, highlighting something that was in sight.
