Summary edit

Description
English: This is Hubble Space Telescope's colorful view of globular star cluster Terzan 12. It is a compact beehive-like structure of hundreds of thousands of stars crowded together. Because of scattering by interstellar dust, the stars on the left side of the image appear redder. The stars toward the right side of the image are bluish-white. The image is sprinkled with bright blue foreground stars. There is also a smattering of bright red giant stars across the image. NASA, ESA, ESA/Hubble, Roger Cohen (RU)
