Well, well, well....look what we have here. Another fantasticly appealing picture indicating an infinite number of stars in the universe. If that many stars can be taken in one picture.....I digress. This picture is of globular cluster M15. This cluster is visible even if all you're looking through is a pair i binoculars. Recent evidence suggests that there is a massive black hole at its center. And this cluster specifically is one of the oldest ones in the Milky Way Galaxy. It occurs 35,000 light years away in the direction of Pegasus. And there has been a dramatic increase in the density of stars indicating that there is star formation happening in that region. This picture was taken by Hubble.
