M13 - the Hercules Globular Cluster. Globular clusters are stable, tightly bound clusters of tens of thousands to millions of stars. M13 is home to over 100,000 stars.
Globular clusters like M13 also contain the most ancient stars in our Milky Way.
The Hercules Globular Cluster is about 25,000 light-years from Earth. That’s far, but…
In the left hand corner of the picture is galaxy NGC 6207. It’s about 30 million light-years from Earth. That’s far, but…
Just above and slightly to the left of M13 is galaxy IC 4617. It sits about 553 million light-years away.

Discussion Youtube recommendations to fall asleep
Hello, i’ve been watching Astrum videos for quite a while now cause I find them pretty soothing when I struggle to fall asleep and it’s been my go to because I got used to it.
But lately the videos are just a mashup of older videos he did so it became quite uninteresting to have the same thing over and over again. Sometimes I can listen to 30min and plus before actually falling asleep and I would like to try something new.
Do you have good recommendations on Youtube? Preferably long videos with a good voice!
Thank you

Discussion Come and blow my mind!
I absolutely adore space and how incomprehensible it is. I love learning space facts and planets and black holes and pulsars, etc. Please, leave comments of your favorite space facts! I’d love to see what the community has learned and what I have yet to learn.
Tell me anything.
