Oh, one more thing...

Incidentally, the concept that a globular star cluster could be what is left after the rest of a galaxy is tidally stripped is very physically plausible.

Many dwarf spheroidal galaxies and low-mass spiral galaxies contain an object near to the centre of the system that is very similar to a globular cluster.
