Good morning RP. Today's video clip (0:50) is titled "Zooming in on Star Cluster Terzan 5 ." The video was produced using images from the Hubble Space Telescope. Terzan 5 is a globular cluster (star forming region) located in the Constellation Sagittarius, and is believed to be one of the primordal building blocks of our Milky Way Galaxy.

"Explanation: Globular clusters once ruled the Milky Way. Back in the old days, back when our Galaxy first formed, perhaps thousands of globular clusters roamed our Galaxy. Today, there are less than 200 left. Over the eons, many globular clusters were destroyed by repeated fateful encounters with each other or the Galactic center. Surviving relics are older than any Earth fossil, older than any other structures in our Galaxy, and limit the universe itself in raw age. There are few, if any, young globular clusters in our Milky Way Galaxy because conditions are not ripe for more to form. The featured video shows what it might look like to go from the Earth to the globular cluster Terzan 5, ending with a picture of the cluster taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. This star cluster has been found to contain not only stars formed in the early days of our Milky Way Galaxy, but also, quite surprisingly, others that formed in a separate burst of star formation about 7 billion years later."
Thank you, my friend Maj Marty Hogan and SP5 Mark Kuzinski for mentioning me.
