This star-studded image brought to you by NASAHubble. It combines data from the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide Field Camera 3.
NGC 6652 lies in our Milky Way in the constellation Sagittarius, about 30,000 light-years from Earth. The closely packed star clusters can attain their spherical shape due to their intense gravitational attraction. This globular cluster has a tight gravitational bond with tens of thousands of stars.
Image description: The stars merge into a bright core made up of countless blue-light star clusters in the center, and spread out to the edges gradually, giving way to an empty, dark background. Most of the stars are small points of light. A few stars with cross-shaped diffraction spikes appear larger.
