This week we're going to study some of the most ancient objects in the entire Universe; globular clusters. These relics of the early Universe contain hundreds of thousands of stars, held together by their mutual gravity. Since they formed together, they give astronomers a unique way to test various theories of stellar evolution. No comments

Here in the Milky Way, new stars are formed at a rate of roughly 4 per year; that's considered pretty normal for spiral galaxy like ours. But researchers have found a galaxy that's absolutely bursting with new star formation. Instead of our leisurely 4 stars per year, this distant galaxy is generating more than 4,000 new stars a year.

For your photo today, it's another image of Mars nearing its closest point to the Earth. This one was captured by Efrain Morales Riviera in the forum. Astronomy in the UK is in deep trouble. The Science & Technology Facilities Council has had their budget slashed by £80 million. Find out more and help out here. Centauri Dreams has more details about the Tunguska research I reported on today. And so does Bad Astronomy. Here's a great idea: a space exploration reality show, with a group of potential explorers cooped up together on a mock spaceship here on Earth. Okay, maybe it's a terrible idea. Maybe off-world children will wear gravity suits in the future to simulate living on Earth. On an administrative note, Pamela and I will be attending the American Astronomical Society meeting in Austin, TX in January. If you're going drop me a note. We're going to try and organize some kind of meetup for Astronomy Cast. Several people mentioned this great interview with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson in the Washington Post. No comments
