The Hubble Space Telescope has released a new image of the ancient globular cluster NGC 6426, showcasing stars in various colors. This cluster, estimated to be 13 billion years old, is among the oldest known in the Milky Way galaxy. Its low-metallicity stars and distinct stellar populations provide valuable insights into the early universe and the formation of our galaxy. The observation contributes to understanding stellar evolution and galactic history.
