Globular cluster

A dense, nearly spherical globular star cluster on a dark background, appearing as a compact, symmetrical round swarm of hundreds to thousands of tiny resolved stars. Most stars are white to pale yellow or yellow-white, with occasional pale blue points. The cluster is brightest and most crowded at the center, forming a brilliant, strongly concentrated softly glowing core, then gradually thins outward into a circular grainy halo or looser outer envelope of individual sparkling stars. Overall it has a round, slightly fuzzy, granular, glittering appearance with a faint golden-white glow.
