“M13: The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules” is copyrighted by Joan Josep Isach Cogollos. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteM13, the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules, is a ball of hundreds of thousands of stars, all held together by gravity. It is 25,000 light-years from us, and so dense that stars can be less than a tenth of a light-year apart. Edmond Halley noted it as a 'little Patch' in 1716, but with a telescope, it is a spectacular sight.
