Thanks MnT. Agreed that globulars can make for interesting study apart from being fascinating objects to observe. I like the fact that they are ancient objects formed within a couple of billion years of the Big Bang. Our little globular in this image could be as much as 12 billion years old. Would be rather cramped in there though and not much chance for planetary systems to have developed.
