Question

Which objects are scattered throughout the galactic halo that surrounds the Milky Way?

Answer 1

Primarily globular clusters — compact, spherical collections of hundreds of thousands of old, metal‑poor (Population II) stars — are scattered through the Milky Way’s halo. The halo also contains a sparse population of halo stars, stellar streams and disrupted satellite remnants, dwarf satellite galaxies, and a large dark‑matter component.
