Globular clusters were a good clue that there was more going on.

球状星团是一个很好的线索，说明还有更多的秘密等待着我们去发掘。

Globular clusters are larger, have hundreds of thousands of stars, and are more spherical.

球状星团更大，有几十万颗恒星，而且更像球状。

Open, or galactic clusters, and globular clusters.

开放星团或疏散星团，以及球状星团。

In addition, Scott included another layer of signposts: pulsars in globular clusters orbiting the Milky Way.

此外，斯考特还查了另一层路标：绕行银河系的球状星团里的脉冲星。

Speaking of which, most of the globular clusters orbiting the Milky Way are in the halo.

说到这，大部分环绕银河系的球状星团都在光晕之中。

The stars in globular clusters tend to have less heavy elements in them too, which you expect if they're old.

球状星团中的恒星往往也含有较少的重元素，如果它们很老的话，这也是你所期望的。

It's producing so many stars that astronomers think it may be in the process of forming a globular cluster!

它产生了如此多的恒星，以至于天文学家甚至认为它可能正在形成球状星团的过程中！

Ancient clumps of stars that predate the Milky Way, globular clusters are gorgeous and mysterious, and they are veritable millisecond pulsar factories.

球状星团是比银河系更古老的恒星团，既美丽又神秘，而且简直是制造毫秒脉冲星的工厂。

First of all, the stars in a globular cluster aren't exactly like our good old Sun.

首先，球状星团中的恒星并不像我们善良的老太阳。

Natarajan: If those globular clusters like Pal 5 are further littered with black holes, the inventory just explodes, basically.

Natarajan：如果像 Pal 5 这样的球状星团进一步散布着黑洞，基本上，存量就会爆炸。

And is surrounded by 150 globular clusters and a halo of dark matter and dwarf galaxies, some of which it's eating, all of which can be seen by other galaxies in our Local Group like Andromeda and Triangulum.

有150个球状星团、一个暗物质晕和一些矮星系正绕着这个黑洞转，而这些矮星系中的一部分正在被黑洞吞噬，这都可以在我们的本星系群中被观察到，比如仙女座和三角座星系。

Consisting of mainly ancient stars from around 12 billion years ago, the Segue 1 contains around 1,000 star systems. Astronomers aren't sure if it's a true galaxy, or even a globular cluster of stars, because it doesn't fit the profile.

Segue 1 主要由大约 120 亿年前的古老恒星组成， 包含大约 1,000 个恒星系统。 天文学家不确定它是否是一个真正的星系， 甚至是一个球状星团， 因为它不符合轮廓。
