Description

The outer halo of the Milky Way contains 150-200 of these stellar swarms, mostly made up of older stars from the infant days of the galaxy. The Great Hercules Cluster is one of the premiere systems, perhaps containing upwards of a billion stars, and swims some 24,000 light years from home.
