Astronomers from The University of Texas at Austin and Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) recently found a surprise when studying some of the oldest star clusters in our galaxy. The stars at the centers of these clusters are rotating around a common axis. It was previously thought any central rotation would have been long erased, leaving the central stars to random orbits. The work has been accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. mcdonaldobservatory.org/news/releases/2014/05/09?utm_content=buffer02c1e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=plus.google&utm_campaign=buffer
