Description: An H-R Diagram of a Globular Cluster
Each dot on this graph represents the absolute magnitude and surface
temperature of a star in the globular cluster M55. Note that the upper
half of the main sequence is missing. The horizontal-branch stars are
stars that recently experienced the helium flash in their cores and
now exhibit core helium fusion and hydrogen shell fusion.
