HST Image of 47 Tucanae This picture, taken with the Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2, depicts the stars’ natural colors in 47 Tucanae.

Summary

Description	English: HST Image of 47 Tucanae This picture, taken with the Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2, depicts the stars’ natural colors in 47 Tucanae. For example, the red stars denote bright red giants at the end of their lives, while the common yellow stars are similar to our middle-aged Sun. The Chandra image falls in a region seen in the upper-left corner of this HST image. Scale: Image is 2 x 2.7 arcmin.

Image title	These Chandra images provide the first complete census of compact binary stars in the core of the globular cluster known as 47 Tucanae. As the oldest stellar systems in the Milky Way Galaxy, globular clusters are laboratories for stellar and dynamical evolution. Nearly all objects in the Chandra images are "binary systems," in which a normal, Sun-like star companion orbits a collapsed star, either a white dwarf or neutron star. The data also reveal the presence of "millisecond pulsars" that rotate extremely rapidly, between 100 to nearly 1000 times a second.
