50,000 light years away in the constellation Delphinus lies the Globular Star Cluster NGC 6934. This massive, beautiful ball of stars is an ancient artifact of our Universe, dating back to as many as 10 billion years. The cluster, with all stars being held together by their own gravity, is nearly 50 light years long and wide, taking up a massive amount of space. The stars give a fascinating look at the beauty of our Universe, and how many interesting objects their are hidden in the night sky. Globular Star Cluster NGC 6934 truly is majestic.
