Happy Diwali to all those who celebrate:

@NASAHubble captured a celestial festival of lights – a globular cluster – 30,000 light-years away from Earth, near the dense and dusty center of our own Milky Way galaxy.⁣

⁣

This globular cluster is unlike others, containing both old and young stars. Some of the older stars are almost as old as the universe itself, around 12 billion years old, while the younger stars are around 1-2 billion years old.⁣

Image description: A globular cluster appears near the center of the frame, with many yellow stars huddled together. Blue and yellow stars dot the blackness of space, surrounding the image’s center.⁣
