Scientific paper

The peculiar galaxy NGC 5253 has been found to be embedded in a swarm of at least 50 bright star clusters. It is suggested that these clusters are fossil evidence for a recent burst of star formation. The hypothesis that NGC 5253 was very much more luminous in the recent past than it is at the present time provides a natural explanation for the unusually high supernova frequency that is observed in this galaxy.
