M55: Globular Star Cluster
M55 is a large globular cluster in Sagittarius, containing around 100,000 stars. It is about 20,000 light-years away and appears nearly two-thirds the size of the full moon from Earth. Globular clusters like M55 are gravitationally bound populations of old stars that roam the halo of our Milky Way Galaxy.
