M92 Globular Cluster in Hercules
"M92 is one of the brightest globular clusters although often overlooked in favour of M13 which also lies in the constellation of Hercules.
The cluster is located about 27,000 light-years from Earth, and is thought to be at least 11 billion years old. It contains roughly 330,000 stars with a tightly packed core and has a diameter of about 109 light-years. It has a relative velocity of -112 km/s."
