Description

NGC 6362, nice globular cluster, quite an interesting one, you see those yellow stars crossing almost in diagonal in the front of the cluster. Here you have a view using Hubble telescope, image from ESO and those stars are quite impressive: https://www.eso.org/public/images/eso1243e/, there is another image from ESO with the 2.2m telescope.

If you wish to go deeper, there is an article on this cluster here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.02016.pdf, in the article they mention quite interesting aspects of the movement of the cluster and its interaction with the Milky Way. Another one here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.02172.pdf
