Globular clusters were a good clue that there was more going on.

球状星团是一个很好的线索，说明还有更多的秘密等待着我们去发掘。

Open, or galactic clusters, and globular clusters.

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：绕行银河系的球状星团里的脉冲星。

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

我们之所以知道这一点，是因为在大多数球状星团中，质量最大的恒星质量都比太阳的质量小。

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

“我们不是什么都懂，但这不意味着我们什么都不懂。”

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

因为球状恒星缺乏重金属，它们不太可能形成像地球这样的行星。

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

球状星团更大，有几十万颗恒星，而且更像球状。

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

球状星团中的恒星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。

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

首先，球状星团中的恒星并不像我们善良的老太阳。

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

球状星团是比银河系更古老的恒星团，既美丽又神秘，而且简直是制造毫秒脉冲星的工厂。

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星团都在光晕之中。

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

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。

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

它产生了如此多的恒星，以至于天文学家甚至认为它可能正在形成球状星团的过程中！

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.

在团团的青绿丛中，垂下粗大的球形果子，约一分米大，外表凹凸不平，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，但球状星团中的恒星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.

尽管球状星团比开放星团大，但球状星团拥有更多的恒星，密度也更大，这也是它们比开放星团寿命更长的原因之一。

Across the room sat the globular lady she had encountered that morning, and beside the globular lady sat a round-headed, round-bodied girl; her daughter, at first glance.

房间对面坐着她那天早上遇到的球状女士，球状女士旁边坐着一个圆头圆身的女孩。她的女儿，乍一看。

They form a roughly spherical shape, hence the term globular, and generally have a well-defined core with stars scattered around them in a halo that fades away with distance.

它们大致呈球形，因此有“球状”一词，通常有一个明确定性的核心，恒星分散在它们周围，形成的光环随着距离的增加而逐渐消失。

She's standing in the opening to the living room with her hands on her globular stomach, balancing it in front of her as if it were a large laundry basket.

她站在客厅门口，双手捧着圆鼓鼓的大肚子，就像吃力地捧着一筐脏衣服以保持平衡。
