Globular clusters are stable, gravitationally strongly bound clusters of tens of thousands to millions of stars found in various galaxies.

The intense gravitational pull between closely spaced stars gives globular clusters a regular spherical shape.

As a result, images of the centers of globular clusters such as Terzan 2 are filled with many bright stars.

As Ukrinform reports, the NASA/ESA Hubble space telescope took a photo of the globular star cluster NGC 6569 in the constellation Sagittarius.
