Sparkly splendor! ✨ Hubble imaged the stunning core of globular cluster Omega Centauri in 2002. Thanks to gravity’s influence, these stars are “close friends” and have been for billions of years: bit.ly/4dVHRgp 🔭 🧪

Against a black background is a collection of white and yellow-white stars, which fills the whole view. The central region is heavily concentrated with stars and forms a bright, circular area. Moving further away from the center, the volume of stars gradually decreases. The edges of the image are dimmer and the dark background is more prominent. Many of the stars have four-pointed diffraction spikes.
