Description

A globular cluster in the northern constellation of Hercules, discovered by Johann Elert Bode in 1777, then published in the Jahrbuch during 1779. It was inadvertently rediscovered by Charles Messier in 1781 and added as the 92nd entry in his catalogue. Easy to find in binoculars and any telescope and is one of the brightest clusters in the northern sky.
