Youngest Globular Cluster in the Galaxy?
A newfound object in the constellation Cetus may be the youngest globular
cluster in the Galaxy--with an age equal to the Sun's. If so, it's akin to a thirty-year-old in a retirement home. The new cluster, named Whiting 1, is 150,000 light-years from the Sun and 130,000 light-years below the Galactic plane. The full story is at http://KenCroswell.com/YoungestGlobular.html .
