Dean,
That's what I thought (old
stars...) but many good CCD images (and some good film images, too) show
about a 50% population of blue stars... I take these to be younger hot stars to
emit that color. The idea that globulars are very old remnants of the galaxy
formation or remnants of some gallactic disturbance that have no current young
star activity has to be suspect... there is no way all these CCD tricolor shots
can be wrong... CCD cameras are linear and the filters are accurate enough to be
believable... it also does not explain the presence of both young AND old stars
in the image... indicating no bias one way or the other. Here is a case where
there is a lot of surprising evidence that refutes the "popular" theories...
most of astronomical theory is just that...theory, and I think someone
needs to take another look at globulars. Those are blue stars...
