Globular cluster

Messier 107 globular star.

Messier 13 or M13 and sometimes called the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules is a globular cluster of several hundred thousand stars in the constellation of Hercules about 22,000 light years away. There are lots of galaxies visible in this image, but the one clearly visible above the star cluster is NGC 6207 which is 30 million Light years away! Hope you all enjoy and thanks for any constructive comments. Equipment: Telescope - Sky-watcher Esprit 120 with .77Reducer Imaging Camera- Qhy268m…

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…

Located in the Hercules constellation, roughly 26,700 light-years from Earth, is the globular cluster known as Messier 92.

"In 1716, English astronomer Edmond Halley noted, "This is but a little Patch, but it shews itself to the naked Eye, when the Sky is serene and the Moon absent." Of course, M13 is now less modestly recognized as the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules, one of the brightest globular star clusters in the northern sky. Telescopic views reveal the spectacular cluster's hundreds of thousands of stars. At a distance of 25,000 light-years, the cluster..." | Adam Block, Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter, U…

Hubble's colorful image of the globular star cluster Terzan 12 is a spectacular example of how dust in space affects starlight coming from background objects.
