“Globular Star Cluster NGC 6752” is copyrighted by Jose Joaquin Perez. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteNGC 6752, a globular star cluster, roams the halo of our Milky Way galaxy, 13,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Pavo. Over 10 billion years old, it is the third brightest globular cluster in Earth's night sky. It contains over 100,000 stars within a sphere about 100 light-years across. Telescopic observations have shown a remarkable fraction of stars near its core are multiple star systems.
