Globular cluster

In a stunning image from the Hubble Space Telescope, the globular cluster NGC 6652 glimmers with the light of countless stars. The glittering, glitzy contents of the globular cluster NGC 6652 sparkle in this star-studded image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The core of the cluster is suffused w

"Globular star cluster 47 Tucanae is a jewel box of the southern sky. Also known as NGC 104, it roams the halo of our Milky Way Galaxy along with over 150 other globular star clusters. The second brightest globular cluster (after Omega Centauri) as seen from planet Earth, 47 Tuc lies about 17,000 light-years away and can be spotted [with the] naked eye near the Small Magellanic Cloud in..." | NASA, ESA, Hubble Heritage Team (STScI / AURA) Acknowledgment: J.

Messier 107 globular star.

Talent matters, but maybe not the way you thought.

In June, the globular cluster M4 lies near Saturn and Mars near the southern horizon.

A deep and wide shot of the sky reveals the glory of two very different kinds of cosmic clusters.

This star-studded image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope depicts globular cluster NGC 6717, which lies more than 20,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius. Globular clusters are roughly spherical collections of stars tightly bound together by gravity. The bright foreground stars at the center of the image reside between Earth and the cluster, and are distinguished by the crisscross diffraction spikes that form when their light interacts with the structures supporting…
