Another update for the Milky Way halo map with new globular clusters. They were discovered from data by the Gaia mission and lie mostly in the galactic bulge, a region previously difficult to analyze because of the great stellar density and extinction from dust clouds. Plus some more from other surveys I habe missed in the last few years (See the bottom of the page above for the source papers). This brings the number of Milky Way globular cluster to 147, with more candidates already discovered, but not enough data to be featured on the map yet.
