Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The location where globular clusterin the Milky Way can be found.

Answer to Problem 1QQ

The option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Milky Way is the galaxy containing our solar system. It's faded and a hazy band of thick clouds with many stars embedded in it. It is a spiral galaxy. It contains few hundred of globular clusters.

Globular cluster is a group of closely located stars. Globular clusters are located near galactic core.The stars in the globular cluster are tightly bounded by gravity because of which their appearance is spherical.Globular clusters are found in the halo near the galactic center, Thus, option (c) is correct.

Think of our Milky Way Galaxy as a flat circular disk of diameter 100,000 light-years. Suppose we are one of 1000 civilizations, randomly distributed through the disk, interested in communicating via radio waves. How far away in light years would the nearest such civilization be from us on average? Show your working. (Hint: Begin by calculating the area of the disk. Find the area of one of a 1,000 squares. Consider the separation of the centres of two adjacent squares.)
