Description

M13 Hercules globular cluster
M13 is a globular cluster of hundreds of thousands of stars. The globular cluster orbits the Milky Way galaxy tens of thousands of light years outside the galactic disk. The light you see left M13 about 25 000 years ago.
The cluster is made up of about 300 000 stars - about 100 times more than the number of stars visible to the naked eye in the sky at night. Their age is about 12-13 billion years.
