From images taken with theHubble Space Telescope's WFPC2, we have obtained photometry of a field in the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy to 3 mag below the main‐sequence turnoff. We determine an age equal to that of the earliest globular clusters for the bulk of the stars in our field of view. We attempt to constrain the star formation history of t...
