I shot this globular star cluster a few years back. This is M-13, or the Great Hercules Globular Cluster. This star cluster includes several hundred thousand stars in the constellation Hercules. M-13 is about 22,200 light-years away from Earth.

M13/NGC 6205. 40x25s

So globular clusters are OUTSIDE their host galaxy and actually “orbit” the galaxy? That is an unimaginably large orbit. I wonder what the orbital period is.
How tightly packed are the stars in globular clusters? Are they close together (astronomically speaking)?

I have to wonder what the gamma ray flux is in such a cluster.
If the radiation level would allow life to ever get started.
