Galaxy Behind Star Cluster NGC 6752

September 10

This image shows stars in a small part of the globular cluster NGC 6752. Near the bottom appears a background galaxy, much farther away, that astronomers found while studying this image. It’s a dwarf galaxy that is nearly as old as the universe.

Some Hubble images use data acquired over several days of observations.
