Globular cluster glitters in stunning new Hubble photo
Summary by Ground News
The globular cluster Terzan 12 lies 15,000 light-years from Earth. Its aging stars appear bright red due to the clouds of interstellar dust and gas that obscure our view. Hubble photographed the cluster as part of an initiative to investigate the globular clusters located toward the center of our galaxy.
