M55: Color Magnitude Diagram
This is a Color Magnitude Diagram of globular star cluster M55, not a typical image. Each dot represents an individual star, with its color indicating temperature, from red (cool) to blue (hot). The position in the diagram shows the star's measured astronomical color, not its location in space. This tool is fundamental for stellar astronomy students.
