Conclusion

We have concluded from our data that as an open star cluster ages, the diameter of it steadily decreases. This can be seen in our data tables as the slope of our two graphs are both negative slopes, meaning that the diameter of the star clusters are steadily decreasing. One thing we did not test was the age vs. diameter of globular clusters. If we had tested this, we would have had a broader view of how the age affects a cluster.
