This brilliant image of Messier 30 (M30), taken by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), is composed of exposures in visible and infrared light. It captures the globular cluster’s dense swarm of several hundred thousand stars in stunning detail.
Messier 30 formed 13 billion years ago and was discovered in 1764 by Charles Messier. Located about 28000 light-years away from Earth, this globular cluster — a dense swarm of several hundred thousand stars — is about 90 light-years across.
One of these objects is Messier 30, a globular cluster located in the southern constellation of Capricornus. Owing to its retrograde orbit through the inner galactic halo, it is believed...
