Scientific paper

Even after many decades of intensive investigation globular clusters still fascinate astronomers. Galactic globular clusters are "fossils" of the epoch of galaxy formation and sampies of a very early, but still reachable stellar generation. The situation is different in the Magellanic Clouds where globular-cluster- like objects with a wide variety of ages can be found. We see globular clusters which, judged by their stellar content, cannot be much older than 107 yr. Their integrated light is dominated by a slightly evolved upper main sequence. Therefore, they have often been referred to as "blue globular clusters". the question why such clusters are found in the Magellanic Clouds (and perhaps in some other galaxies like M33 and NGC 2403) and not in the Milky Way is certainly of significance for the general understanding of galaxy evolution (see lAU Symp. 126 for more information).
