M22 & M28 Globular Clusters - a photo on Flickriver

            (Solanas) - Globular Cluster M22 (on the left top) and globular cluster M28 (on the right bottom), both located in Sagittarius. A globular cluster is a spheroid of stars together like a satellite orbiting around the center of a galaxy (in this case our own Milky Way). Globular clusters are supported internally by a strong gravity, which gives them the typical spherical appearance and maintain at their core a relatively very high density of stars. 

(Solanas) - Ammasso Globulare M22 (in alto) e Ammasso Globulare M28, entrambi situati nel Sagittario. Un ammasso globulare è un insieme sferoidale di stelle che orbita come un satellite intorno al centro di una galassia (in questo caso la nostra Via Lattea). Gli ammassi globulari sono sorretti al loro interno da una forte gravità, che dà loro il tipico aspetto sferico e mantiene al loro centro una densità di stelle relativamente molto elevata.
