TL;DR Summary

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of an ancient globular cluster located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, about 157,000 light-years from Earth. These clusters, packed with thousands or even millions of stars, provide clues about the early universe. The cluster, called NGC 2210, is estimated to be around 11.6 billion years old, making it just a few billion years younger than the universe itself. Other clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud may be even older, with some exceeding 13 billion years in age.
