English: M5 is arguably one of the best globular clusters in the sky visible from the northern hemisphere. These balls of stars (upwards of a million members) orbit our galaxy tens of thousands of light years distant. This particular cluster is approximately 26,000 light years away and is estimated to be 13 BILLION years old (*whew*).This image was taken as part of Advanced Observing Program (AOP) program at Kitt Peak Visitor Center during 2014. |
