Messier 28 or M28, also known as NGC 6626, is a globular cluster of stars in the center-west of Sagittarius.It was discovered by French astronomer Charles Messier in 1764. [11] [a] He briefly described it as a "nebula containing no star... round, seen with difficulty in 3 1 ⁄ 2-foot telescope; Diam 2′."
NGC 6530 is a young [8] open cluster of stars in the southern constellation of Sagittarius, located some 4,300 light years from the Sun. [3] It exists within the H II region known as the Lagoon Nebula, or Messier 8, [9] and spans an angular diameter of 14.0′. [5]
He classified many objects as diverse as star clusters and supernova remnants as nebulae. This includes Messier 28, pictured here — which, ironically, is actually a star cluster. Messier’s mistake is understandable. Whilst Messier 28 is easily recognisable as a globular stellar cluster in this image, it is far less recognisable from Earth.
This group would have HD 163296 and HD 166191 as their brightest members. [28] It is, however, not clear if these stars belong to the same group. [29] The star experienced a dimming event in 2001 at which the V-band magnitude dropped by 0.8 [30] and the star subsequently brightened in 2002 in the near-infrared. [31]
