COSMIC MESSAGE

M13, also known as the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules, is a dense collection of hundreds of thousands of stars. It is visible to the naked eye on a clear night, as noted by Edmond Halley in 1716. Located 25,000 light-years away, its stars are packed into a region 150 light-years across. Telescopic views reveal the cluster's immense stellar population.
