1. Hubble yields direct proof of stellar sorting in a globular cluster
   10-24-2006 · EurekAlert!

Heavier stars slow down and sink to the cluster's core, while lighter stars pick up speed and move across the cluster to its periphery. This process, called "mass segregation," has long been suspected for globular star clusters, but has never before been directly seen in action.
