  1. 📸 Globular Cluster Omega Centauri

    Omega Centauri, or NGC 5139, is the largest and brightest globular cluster in the Milky Way. Located 15,000 light-years away, it holds about 10 million stars — some older than the Sun.

    Its mixed stellar ages and compositions hint that it may be the remnant core of a dwarf galaxy.
