The Center of Globular Cluster Omega Centauri
Omega Centauri is the most massive globular cluster in our Milky Way, a dense ball of stars. In its core, stars are packed ten thousand times more closely than near our Sun. The Hubble Space Telescope resolves individual stars in this dense region, showing many faint yellow-white stars smaller than our Sun, alongside yellow-orange ones.
