Globular Cluster M15 from Hubble
M15 is a globular cluster, a relic from the early years of our galaxy, containing over 100,000 stars. It orbits the Milky Way's center and is easily visible with binoculars. The Hubble Space Telescope captured this sharp image, revealing one of the densest concentrations of stars known, along with many variable stars and pulsars.
