Speaking of which, most of the globular clusters orbiting the Milky Way are in the halo.

说到这，大部分环绕银河系的球状都在光晕之中。

In addition, Scott included another layer of signposts: pulsars in globular clusters orbiting the Milky Way.

此外，斯考特还查了另一层路标：绕行银河系的球状里的脉冲。

Unlike open clusters, though, globulars are old.

过，与开放同的是，球状很古老。

It's producing so many stars that astronomers think it may be in the process of forming a globular cluster!

它产生了如此多的，至于文学家甚至认为它可能正在形成球状的过程中！

“We don't know everything, but that doesn't mean we know nothing, ” reminds a globular character on a few occasions.

“我们是什么都懂，但这意味着我们什么都懂。”

First of all, the stars in a globular cluster aren't exactly like our good old Sun.

首先，球状中的并像我们善良的老太阳。

We know this because in most globulars, the MOST massive stars are LESS massive than the Sun.

我们之所知道这一点，是因为在大多数球状中，质量最大的质量都比太阳的质量小。

Because globulars are so old, they contain a lot of dead stars.

因为球状太老了，它们包含了很多死亡的。

Ancient clumps of stars that predate the Milky Way, globular clusters are gorgeous and mysterious, and they are veritable millisecond pulsar factories.

球状是比银河系更古老的，既美丽又神秘，而且简直是制造毫秒脉冲的工厂。

Natarajan: If those globular clusters like Pal 5 are further littered with black holes, the inventory just explodes, basically.

Natarajan：如果像 Pal 5 这样的球状进一步散布着黑洞，基本上，存量就会爆炸。

What normal stars are left are low mass red stars, so globulars tend to look red.

剩下的正常都是小质量的红色，所球状看起来都是红色的。

The stars in globular clusters tend to have less heavy elements in them too, which you expect if they're old.

球状中的往往也含有较少的重元素，如果它们很老的话，这也是你所期望的。

The globular young man, red with annoyance, had torn himself from his family and was hastening across the room to her.

圆圆的年轻人气得满脸通红， 他从家人身边挣脱出来， 急忙穿过房间向她走去。

Because globular stars lack heavy metals, it's unlikely they would've formed planets like Earth.

因为球状缺乏重金属，它们太可能形成像地球这样的行。

Globular clusters are larger, have hundreds of thousands of stars, and are more spherical.

球状更大，有几十万颗，而且更像球状。

From its mass of greenery, huge globular fruit stood out, a decimeter wide and furnished on the outside with creases that assumed a hexangular pattern.

在的青绿丛中，垂下粗大的球形果子，约一分米大，外表凹凸平，好像六角形。

Such collisions are extremely rare in space, but the stars are so tightly packed in globulars that collisions are more common.

这样的碰撞在太空中极为罕见，但球状中的非常紧密地聚集在一起，因此碰撞更为常见。

Despite being larger than open clusters, globulars have more stars and are denser, which is one reason they live longer than open clusters.

尽管球状比开放大，但球状拥有更多的，密度也更大，这也是它们比开放寿命更长的原因之一。
