Question

When distances were carefully measured from the Earth to globular clusters above and below the Milky Way plane (where our view of them is not obscured by interstellar dust and gas), their distribution was found to be

A) spherically symmetric about a point in the constellation Sagittarius and concentrated in that direction.
B) in a relatively flat disk almost perpendicular to the plane of the Galaxy, with a relatively higher density of clusters toward its center.
C) concentrated in the plane of the Milky Way and clustered around the Sun's position, indicating that the Sun is close to the Galaxy's center.
D) uniformly distributed throughout space, with no concentration in any area of the Milky Way.

Answer 1

A) Spherically symmetric about a point in the constellation Sagittarius and concentrated in that direction

Step-by-step explanation:

The globular clusters are present mainly in the direction of Sagittarius with the center of the system of globular cluster being measured as a spherical cluster cloud such that the center of the Milky Way can be taken as being in the Sagittarius constellation
