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.⁣
