Messier 80 (also known as M80 or NGC 6093) is a globular cluster in the constellation Scorpius. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1781, being one of his first discoveries. [9] This star cluster is, as to its angle from the solar system, midway between α Scorpii and β Scorpii in a field in the Milky Way Galaxy that is rich in nebulæ.
The Messier 80 globular cluster in the constellation Scorpius is located about 30,000 light-years from the Sun and contains hundreds of thousands of stars. [26] The count of known globular clusters in the Milky Way has continued to increase, reaching 83 in 1915, 93 in 1930, 97 by 1947, [19] and 157 in 2010.

The light curve of T Scorpii, plotted from measurements by Arthur von Auwers [3]. T Scorpii, or Nova Scorpii 1860, was a nova in the globular cluster Messier 80 (M80). It was discovered on 21 May 1860 by Arthur von Auwers at Koenigsberg Observatory and was independently discovered by Norman Pogson on May 28 at Hartwell observatory.
The Messier catalogue comprises nearly all of the most spectacular examples of the five types of deep-sky object – diffuse nebulae, planetary nebulae, open clusters, globular clusters, and galaxies – visible from European latitudes. Furthermore, almost all of the Messier objects are among the closest to Earth in their respective classes ...
NAD+ supplements, IV drips, and injections have gained a lot of traction on social media due to their supposed anti-aging benefits. Here, doctors reveals the truth behind the trend.
These are globular clusters within the halo of the Milky Way galaxy. The diameter is in minutes of arc as seen from Earth. For reference, the J2000 epoch celestial coordinates of the Galactic Center are right ascension 17 h 45 m 40.04 s, declination −29° 00′ 28.1″.
