Definition of globular clusters in English English dictionary: plural form of globular cluster
globular cluster: a spherical star cluster containing thousands to millions of stars
globular cluster: A system of stars, generally smaller in size than a galaxy, that is more or less globular in conformation. Any large group of old, Population II (see Populations I and II) stars closely packed in a symmetrical, somewhat spherical form. About 150 have been identified in the Milky Way Galaxy. Most are distributed in a spherical volume above and below the Galaxy's disk (see galactic halo). Globular clusters contain many more stars (10,000-1,000,000) than open clusters do and can be several hundred light-years in diameter. Because they are so distant from the solar system, most are not visible to the unaided eye. Omega Centauri and a few others can be seen without a telescope as hazy patches of light
globular cluster: cluster of up to a million stars that are held together in a spherical form by the force of gravity (Astronomy)
