Question 2: The integrated light from the Milky Way globular cluster NGC 104 has an apparent magnitude my = 4.03 mag and absolute magnitude My = -9.52 mag. It is located at 1 = 305.9, b = -44.9 and is d=4.5 kpc from the Sun. a.) b.) Estimate the amount of extinction between the Sun and 47 Tucanae in magnitudes. What does this value of extinction mean for the amount of attenuation by dust between Earth and NGC 104?.
