[漢羅] Palomar 6：球形星團

這粒恆星大球是按怎來 ê？ Palomar 6 是 咱銀河系 留落來 ê 200 个 球形星團 ê 其中一个。 這款球形恆星球是比 咱 ê 太陽 閣較老，嘛比咱 銀河盤 內底大部份恆星閣較老。 Palomar 6 差不多是 125 億歲遐爾老，老甲 kah 咱 ê 宇宙欲平老，嘛 限制 規个宇宙 ê 年歲。 Palomar 6 內底有 50 萬粒恆星，離咱有 2 萬 5 千 光年 遠，毋閣離咱 銀河中心 袂蓋遠。 這个距離 tùi 這張清楚 ê 哈伯太空望遠鏡 影像來講，差不多是 15 光年闊。 經過 足濟研究，嘛包括用哈伯影像了後，這馬有一个 kah 源頭有關 ê chhōa-頭假說 是講，Palomar 6 是 ùi 踅 銀河中央 ê 核球 內底 ê 恆星產生 koh 留到這馬 ê，毋是 ùi 較遠 ê 銀暈 來 ê。 是講咱這馬揣著 ê 其他 球形星團，大部份攏是 ùi 銀暈來 ê。

[English] Palomar 6: Globular Star Cluster

Where did this big ball of stars come from? Palomar 6 is one of about 200 globular clusters of stars that survive in our Milky Way Galaxy. These spherical star-balls are older than our Sun as well as older than most stars that orbit in our galaxy’s disk. Palomar 6 itself is estimated to be about 12.5 billion years old, so old that it is close to – and so constrains – the age of the entire universe. Containing about 500,000 stars, Palomar 6 lies about 25,000 light years away, but not very far from our galaxy’s center. At that distance, this sharp image from the Hubble Space Telescope spans about 15 light-years. After much study including images from Hubble, a leading origin hypothesis is that Palomar 6 was created – and survives today – in the central bulge of stars that surround the Milky Way’s center, not in the distant galactic halo where most other globular clusters are now found.
