Globular Clusters

Globular clusters are associated with the center of galaxies. They are not confined to the plane of the galaxy however, but occupy a spherical region about the center. Several globular clusters are seen in the neighbouring Large and Small Magellanic Cloud galaxies. About 100 globular clusters belong to our galaxy.
