Astronomical Seal Observatory images M13 globular cluster
The Astronomical Observation Center of the International Astronomy Center succeeded in capturing a high-resolution image of the globular cluster "M13," one of the most famous cosmic clusters in the Milky Way galaxy. It is located approximately 24,000 light-years from Earth and contains hundreds of thousands of stars that are over 11 billion years old. This image attests to the observatory's capability to document deep celestial objects. The imaging process took around 11 hours, using a 4.3-meter aperture telescope, by compiling 323 images. "M13" is one of the oldest components of the galaxy, housing ancient stars bound by gravity, along with a group of stars known as "blue stragglers."
