[4] [5] [6] The cluster Omega Centauri, easily visible in the southern sky with the naked eye, was known to ancient astronomers like Ptolemy as a star, but was reclassified as a nebula by Edmond Halley in 1677, [7] then finally as a globular cluster in the early 19th century ...

    Image taken by ESO's VISTA of the Globular Cluster VVV CL001. On the right lies the globular star cluster UKS 1 and on the left [where?] lies a much less conspicuous new discovery, VVV CL001. [1] The two are not physically located close to each other; this is a line-of-sight coincidence. [2] This is a list of globular clusters.
