All Palomar globulars except two, Palomar 7 (IC1276) and Palomar 9 (NGC6717), have never been seen before. Palomar 9 was observed by William Herschel back on August 7, 1784. Palomar 7 was first discovered by an American astronomer Lewis Swift in 1889, and was independently rediscovered by George Abell as part of the survey in 1952.
The Large Underground Xenon experiment (LUX) aimed to directly detect weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter interactions with ordinary matter on Earth. . Despite the wealth of (gravitational) evidence supporting the existence of non-baryonic dark matter in the Universe, [1] dark matter particles in our galaxy have never been directly detected in an expe

Terzan 7 is a sparse and young globular cluster that is believed to have originated in the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy (Sag DEG) and is physically associated with it. It is relatively metal rich with [ Fe / H ] = -0.6 [ 6 ] and an estimated age of 7.5 Gyr . [ 4 ]
The Hale Telescope is a 200-inch (5.1 m), f / 3.3 reflecting telescope at the Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California, US, named after astronomer George Ellery Hale. With funding from the Rockefeller Foundation in 1928, he orchestrated the planning, design, and construction of the observatory, but with the project ending up taking ...
NGC 6717 (also known as Palomar 9) is a globular cluster in the constellation Sagittarius, and is a member of the Palomar Globular Clusters group. Palomar 9 was discovered by William Herschel on August 7, 1784. It is located about 7,300 parsecs away from Earth. [2]
Palomar Observatory is an active research facility. However, selected observatory areas are open to the public during the day. Visitors can take self-guided tours of the 200-inch telescope daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The observatory is open 7 days a week, year round, except for December 24 and 25 and during times of inclement weather.
Palomar 1 is a globular cluster part of the Palomar group in the constellation Cepheus in the halo possibly in the Outer Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. First discovered by George O. Abell in 1954 on the Palomar Survey Sky plates, [ 5 ] it was catalogued as a globular cluster.
