# Globular Star Cluster Simulation

A computer model has been developed to simulate globular star clusters. Programs have been run on the TS-1000, Timex 2068 and an IBM compatible PC to compare speed and graphics. These fascinating structures consist of up to a million stars in mutually interacting orbits that form spherical clusters that are typically 150 light years in diameter. They are relatively stable, generally billions of years old and lose or gain star members slowly.
