We’ve known for some time that we reside in the Local Bubble, a cavity of low-density gas excavated by an orchestra of dying stars ~15 Myrs ago. Today’s authors find that this Bubble’s expansion is driving nearly all nearby star formation.
Making a star cluster from scratch is no easy task. Today’s paper addresses the big question: what does it take to get the recipe right?
What can counting globular clusters tell us about a galaxy’s star formation history? Today’s authors investigate using Hubble Space Telescope observations.
