Good morning RP. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Messier 5" (the full view of this color image is worth a click). A globular star cluster, Messier 5 (M5) contains 100,000+ stars bound by gravity and packed into a region around 165 light-years in diameter. Roaming the halo of the Milky Way, M5 and its stars are estimated to be nearly 13 billion years old.
