If a globular cluster contains 2 million stars and is 28 pc in diameter, what is the average distance between the stars? (Hints: What share of the volume of the cluster surrounds the average star? The volume of a sphere is 4/3 ?R3.)
This problem can be solved by first calculating the average volume reserved for one star and then the diameter of that sphere.

- How many years? Thank you!Question 41 .Suppose you are looking at H-R diagrams of two similar star clusters. The most luminous main sequence stars in the Porcini cluster are much more luminous than the most luminous main sequence stars in the Morel cluster. What can you conclude? O the Porcini cluster is younger than the Morel cluster O the Porcini cluster is farther away than the Morel cluster O the Porcini cluster is lower in metallicity than the Morel cluster O the Porcini cluster is larger in diameter than the Morel clusterIf a galaxy contains a supernova that at its brightest has an apparent magnitude of 16, how far away is the galaxy? Assume that the absolute magnitude of the supernova is −18. (Hint: Use the magnitude-distance formula d = 10(mV − MV + 5)/5.)
