This NASA\/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows the dazzling stellar group in all its glory. NGC 4833 is one of the over 150 globular clusters known to reside within the Milky Way. These objects are thought to contain some of the oldest stars in our galaxy. Studying these ancient cosmic clusters can help astronomers to unravel how a galaxy formed and evolved, and give an idea of the galaxy\u2019s age. Globular clusters are responsible for some of the most striking sights in the cosmos, with hundreds of thousands of stars congregating in the same region of space. Hubble has observed many of these clusters during its time in orbit around our planet, each as breathtaking as the last.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #000080;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In this photo taken from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission_pages\/hubble\/main\/index.html\">&#8220;Hubble Space Telescope mission&#8221; section of Nasa.gov<\/a>, I have enhanced the detail to make the smaller stars more visible so you can better appreciate their numbers.
