List of globular clusters
Image taken by ESO 's VISTA of the Globular Cluster VVV CL001 . On the right lies the globular star cluster UKS 1 and on the left[where? ] lies a much less conspicuous new discovery, VVV CL001.[ 1] The two are not physically located close to each other; this is a line-of-sight coincidence.[ 2]
This is a list of globular clusters . The apparent
magnitude does not include an extinction correction.
Milky Way
These are globular clusters within the halo of the Milky Way galaxy. The diameter is in minutes of arc as seen from Earth. For reference, the J2000 epoch celestial coordinates of the Galactic Center are right ascension 17h 45m 40.04s , declination −29° 00′ 28.1″. A high proportion of globular clusters are located in the Ophiuchus and Sagittarius constellations , both of which lie in the direction of the galactic core.
