Globular clusters are incredible stellar relics from our Milky Way's formation, offering insights into the early history of our galaxy, as well as other galaxies. This talk will provide a fascinating look at these densely packed star groups - what are they, where are they, where they came from; and how might they relate to dark matter, black holes, and the beginnings of the universe?
On our journey we will visit some of the most interesting star clusters in our Milky Way galaxy as well as those associated with other galaxies and galaxy clusters. We will use the Hertzstrung-Russell diagram to gain understanding about how the ages of these star systems are determined.

Please join us for this extraordinary adventure in a "Journey to Ancient Star Clusters.
