relatively greater distances than any other form of star
cluster. The largest are visible to the naked eye as
fuzzy patches and the two brightest are Omega
Centauri and 47 Tucanae. Messier Object 13 (M.13)
in Hercules is very well known.
Globular clusters are also very old and are essentially
permanent members of the galactic system. They are
the eternal guardians of the galactic nucleus. The
large number of stars in these clusters and their
density or compactness create a self-gravitating
system that is very effective against the disruptive
tidal forces in the galaxy. There is a distinct absence
of blue giants and supergiant stars (superluminous
stars of short lifetimes) in the globular clusters. This
along with the absence of dust and gas clouds points
to their great age. The globular clusters seem to
move, more or less, at random about the galactic
center, very much like individual stars in a cluster
seem to have mainly incoherent motions about the
center of the cluster. Some astronomers claim that
the globulars make radial oscillations (in and out)
rather than spherical orbits.
