M13 is now at a good point, high up at night. A quick (very quick) look at this bauble.

Can you find the very small background galaxy in this image? It's at magnitude 18.

What are globular's exactly?


Very pretty tight agglomerations of many stars that are gravitationally
bound together and continue to get more tightly bound by flinging the
odd star out to infinity whilst the rest contract into towards the core.


Until they evaporate completely (which takes somewhat longer than the
current age of the Universe).


My goodness don't you and so many theoretical drones like you have your heads filled with rubbish in an era where imaging is king and interpretation rather than speculation rules.

Astronomy is an experience for the inspired and the inspiring as it connects the individual to the Universal in an intimate and almost innocent way insofar as judgements are deliberated upon normal faculties of motions.

So much to do and so few to do it.
