Scientific paper

There has for some time been mounting evidence of the comparative youth of the Galaxy's halo globular clusters. Attention is given to a revisionist scenario in which the disk and bulge formed first from a smaller gas cloud; the halo came later in piecemeal fashion, as 'protogalactic' fragments attached themselves to the young galaxy over several billion years. Clear evidence for this scenario is now available in the form of observations of 16-billion-year-old stars in the Galaxy's central bulge.
