Summary
| Description |
A faint, sparse globular cluster, and at the time of writing, most distant member of its kind from our vantage point. I don't know much more about it, so here is a quick link to the Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laevens_1 Later on I'll add a link to another article. Hat tip to Phil Plait for pointing me to this dataset! Following is a link to the abstract for the proposal which produced these observations. Is the Crater satellite the Milky Way's Smallest Dwarf Galaxy or its Largest Globular Cluster? Red: ACS/WFC F814W Green: ACS/WFC F606W Blue: ACS/WFC F555W & WFC3/UVIS F390M to fill chip gap North is 18.91° clockwise from up. |
