The spherical halo component is the part of the Milky Way that contains mostly old stars and globular clusters. This is because the halo is believed to have formed early in the Milky Way's history, before the formation of the galactic disk. The halo consists of a roughly spherical distribution of stars and globular clusters, and is also home to the Milky Way's oldest and least chemically evolved stars.
