Us Earthlings inhabit a solar system on Bhabhi Ka Bhaukal (2023) Part 2 Hindi Web Seriesone of the great spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy.
The legendary Hubble Space Telescope, orbiting Earth, peered inward and captured a vivid image of stars near the center of the Milky Way, a galaxy that's some 100,000 light-years across (or about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilometers). NASA posted the image online on Friday.
What can we see? A "sparkling starfield," writes NASA.
That dense group of stars is called a "globular cluster," and that's specifically "globular cluster ESO 520-21," found near the center of the galaxy. A globular cluster is a "densely packed, roughly spherical collection of stars," writes the European Space Agency.
Poetically, NASA calls them "snow-globe-shaped islands of several hundred thousand ancient stars."
Star clusters are common in the universe, and because they're bright, they're often observed and researched by astronomers.
