Description

Messier 92 (also known as M92, M 92, or NGC 6341) is a globular cluster of stars in the northern constellation of Hercules. 
It was discovered by Johann Elert Bode on 27 December 1777. Then, it was inadvertently rediscovered by Charles Messier on 18 March 1781 and added as the 92nd entry in his catalogue. William Herschel first resolved individual stars in 1783.
