Omega Centauri

Omega Centauri is one of the largest and most massive globular clusters in our Milky Way galaxy. It appears as a bright, dense star cluster in the constellation Centaurus, containing millions of stars tightly bound by gravity. Unlike individual stars, it is a spherical grouping with a complex history, possibly the core of a dwarf galaxy that was absorbed by the Milky Way. Its stars vary in age and composition, providing valuable insights into stellar evolution and galaxy formation. Omega Centauri’s impressive size and brightness make it a prominent target for astronomers and stargazers alike.
