COSMIC MESSAGE

Globular star cluster NGC 6752 is located about 13,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Pavo. This cluster is over 10 billion years old and roams the halo of our Milky Way galaxy. It is the fourth brightest globular cluster in Earth's night sky, holding over 100,000 stars within a 100 light-year diameter sphere. Telescopic observations show a remarkable fraction of its core stars are multiple systems.
