Omega Centauri is a large globular cluster, containing almost ten million stars, in the direction of the constellation of Centaurus, which has been studied to understand its stellar kinematics, the motions of its stars under the action of the gravitational forces which act on them.

This result can be extended to certain other structures in the universe and goes against some previous claims about the role of lowAdvertised on
