Globular cluster

From Encyc

The term global cluster is a kind of star cluster, a closely associated group of stars that were all formed at the same time and place.[1]

In 2009 Terzan-5, previously classified as a globular cluster, has been reclassified as a bulge fossil fragment, because it contains four populations of stars, created in four separate times.[1]
