"Hubble telescope captures breathtaking image of dazzling globular cluster"

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning new photo of the globular cluster Terzan 12, located 15,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Sagittarius. The cluster appears bright red due to interstellar dust and gas that obscure our view. The photo reveals a higher concentration of stars near the center of Terzan 12, shining extra bright. The image was taken as part of an initiative to study the relationship between age and composition of globular clusters in the innermost region of the Milky Way.

"Hubble telescope captures breathtaking image of dazzling globular cluster"

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning new photo of Terzan 12, a globular cluster located 15,000 light-years away in the constellation of Sagittarius. Globular clusters are densely packed groups of hundreds of thousands to millions of stars bound together by gravity. The photo reveals the cluster shrouded in gas and dust, with a higher concentration of stars near its center. The interstellar dust particles scatter blue light, allowing only the redder wavelengths from the cluster to be seen. This image is part of an initiative to study the relationship between age and composition of globular clusters in the innermost region of the Milky Way galaxy.

Stunning Hubble Images Reveal Glittering Stars and Cosmic Whirlpools

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of the globular cluster Terzan 12, located 15,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius. The image showcases a multitude of stars shining through interstellar gas and dust, providing insights into the structure and ages of globular clusters. These ancient clusters help astronomers understand the life cycles of stars and the presence of stellar-mass black holes. Terzan 12, the 11th globular cluster discovered by Agop Terzan, offers a breathtaking view of celestial bodies in space.
