Some are found in globular clusters, but most move in a huge cloud around the disk called the galactic halo, which has a luminous inner component defined by globular star clusters and other easily observable stars (with coronae of hot gas possibly expelled by supernovae and of high - velocity neutron stars) and an outer dark - matter component inferred from its gravitational impact on the Milky Way's spiral disk.
