This is a picture of the nebula NGC 6752. Taken by the Hubble Telescope, this picture shows a nebula that is 13000 light years away towards the southern sky constellation Pavo. This object holds over 100 thousand stars in a sphere only 100 light years in diameter. This picture is of the internal 10 light years. Blue straggler stars appear that are relatively young, and do not belong in clusters with stars twice as old as our sun. Many of the visible stars are clusters and groupings of stars that have supporting arguments with each other.
