Description

M28 surrounded by clouds of dense groups of stars. It is located quite in the centre of Sagittarius, and NASA has a beautiful image of it: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2017/messier-28

Regarding M28 there is an interesting claim "M28 is now the globular cluster with the third largest population of known pulsars, after Terzan 5 and 47 Tuc", quoted from https://www.universetoday.com/33079/messier-28-globular-cluster/, where the pointer to the original research paper can be found.
