NASA / ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured this mind-boggling image of globular cluster Omega Centauri, which is located 17,700 light-years from Earth in the southern constellation Centaurus. It contains several million stars spinning in locked orbits around a common center of gravity.
The stars are so densely packed in the cluster’s core that it is difficult for ground-based telescopes to make out individual stars. However, Hubble’s high resolution imaging tools are able to pick up where ground-based telescopes leave off, capturing distinct points of light from stars at the very center of the cluster.

The stars in the core of Omega Centauri are so densely packed that occasionally one of them will actually collide with another one. Even in the dense center of Omega Centauri, stellar collisions will be infrequent. But the cluster is so old that many thousands of collisions have occurred,” said the NASA Hubble Mission Team.
