[ad_1] NASA has released an image of the globular cluster Terzan 2 in the constellation Scorpio captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Stable, tightly bound clusters of tens of thousands to millions of stars are called globular clusters and they are found across a variety of galaxies. They get their regular, spherical shape from the […]

[ad_1] NASA has released a picture of a “globular cluster” that contains thousands of glittering stars. The Hubble Space Telescope used its Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys to capture this image of the globular cluster NGC 6569 in the Sagitarrius constellation. Globular clusters are stable and tightly bound clusters that contain […]
