On the other hand, Curtis agreed with Shapley's findings that the globular clusters were not in the galaxy.... In Curtis's opinion, these clusters were closed while the galaxy was smaller.... In support of his opinion on the size of the Milky Way, Shapley referred to the globular cluster star he had observed.... In his assumptions, Shapley believed that all the globular were of the same size.... Therefore, despite the two agreeing and disagreeing on some facts, they both had a common idea that the galaxy was in the universe, something they argued out based on the position of the globular cluster in the Milky Way....

"Telescopes and Galaxies" paper explains how is it possible to determine the age of a globular star cluster by measuring the magnitudes and colors of the stars it contains and also explains how the total mass of Hydrogen 'lost' compares to the mass of the Sun.... Explain how is it possible to determine the age of a globular star cluster by measuring the magnitudes and colors of the stars it contains.... When we are determining the age of the globular star cluster the following assumptions should be made (Sagar, 1997): 1) all cluster stars have formed almost simultaneously from the same interstellar gas cloud; 2) the cluster stars have very similar chemical composition because the original gas cloud was well mixed, so the individual cluster stars should contain the same mix of chemical elements and molecules....
