Finding the
distance to the center of the Milkyway using globular clusters. Make a scale
plot of where the clusters lie with respect to the Sun. Outline the region
filled by the clusters and note where they are most concentrated. The center
of their concentration is presumably the center of the galaxy. Measure off
the distance from the center to the Sun, and from the known scale, determine
that distance.
