The NASA Hubble Space Telescope has detected an astonishing picture of a huge collection of aging stars, which is believed to have 10 billion d & # 39; years. This rich and dense cluster of stars is a mbadive globular cluster, a gravitational collection of stars orbiting in the Milky Way, said the US Space Agency in a statement

The Globular Clusters are denser and more spherical than open star clusters Pleiades famous. They usually contain hundreds of thousands of stars that would have formed around the same time. The hundreds of thousands of NGC 6139 stars would have been formed more than 10 billion years ago, the report says. As a result, they contain some of the oldest stars in our galaxy, formed very early in the history of the galaxy. However, their role in galactic evolution is still a matter of study.

This cluster is seen roughly in the direction of the center of the Milky Way, in the constellation Scorpio (Scorpio). This constellation is a gold mine of fascinating astronomical objects. Astronomers have used Hubble to track "Scorpius" repeatedly to observe objects such as the butterfly nebula, the startling binary star systems and other dazzling globular clusters, the report notes.
