M-13, the great globular cluster
Messier 13, the great globular of Hercules. This is the brightest cluster in the northern hemisphere and it dominates the spring sky due to its spectacular nature.
More than 500,000 stars, of different types and colors, make this object a favorite of astrophotographers.
We can also see to the right above the ngc-6207 galaxy, remarkable, although M-13 steals its prominence.
I hope you like it.

The Core of Messier 13
The core of Messier 13, 500,000 stars in incredible balance.
At a distance of 25,000 light years, the cluster stars cluster in a region 150 light-years across.
The distances between stars in the central region are greatly reduced; more than 100 stars could be contained in a cube that measures just 3 light-years on each side.
For us to understand, the closest star to the Sun is more than 4 light-years away.

NGC-6207, the M-13 companion
ngc-6207, the m13 companion.
A galaxy with small spiral arms and HII regions. Even through the largest telescopes these kinds of details cannot be seen visually.
It's appear like a little cocoon of silk.
