hst_Hubble image of globular cluster NGC 1846
This image of the globular cluster NGC 1846 was taken by Hubble in 2006, and "remastered" in 2011. If you look straight down from the cluster center, you'll see a tiny green blip: that's the death throes of a star. Details and explanation are in my blog.
