Description

For me "47 Tuc" is the most impressive globular cluster at all.

The small globular cluster on the right side (NGC121) no longer belongs to the Milky Way but to neighboring Small Magellanic Cloud.

It's diameter is with 250ly approximately twice as large as 47Tuc. But with 210,000 light years it is about 12x further away.
