The First Interstellar Gas in a Globular Cluster?
Astronomers have detected what may be the first interstellar gas ever found
in a globular cluster. However, the amount of gas falls far short of theoretical predictions. Globular clusters ought to have lots of interstellar gas. After all, they have lots of stars, and their brightest stars, red giants, lose lots of mass. But past searches for gas between globulars' stars have come up dry. Now astronomers report success. The full story is at http://KenCroswell.com/M15Gas.html . Meanwhile, last week's big story about the distance to the Andromeda Galaxy is at http://KenCroswell.com/AndromedaDistance.html .
