Globular Clusters M4 And Ngc6144 Near The Antares Antarвђ Flickr Description: antares the fifteenth brightest star of the sky. it lives its last phases of its life as a star and in this stage, it has a radius equal to 700 times as larger as the sun's radius, resulting in an amazing luminosity of 75000 times the sun's luminosity. in this photo, two globular star clusters can be seen, as well. Also, ngc 6144 is the smaller globular cluster between antares and m4 and is a whopping 33,000 light years away. view at earthsky community photos . | rob pettengill captured this photo on march.
Globular Clusters M4 Ngc6144 Antares р сѓс сђрѕс рѕс рѕрісђр с рёсџ It’s a globular star cluster, an ancient member of our milky way galaxy. m4 shines at magnitude 5.9, so it may be visible as a smudge on the sky under very dark skies. well known. Ngc 6144. in the shadow of messier 4 and the glare of the red giant antares, behind the nebula of sharpless 2 9, one can find ngc 6144, another globular cluster. it was found by william herschel on 22 may 1783 and cataloged under the designation vi 10. herschel's class «vi» stood for very compressed and rich star clusters. The huge, loose cluster m4 is only 1.3° west of brilliant antares. despite this star's glare, walter scott houston was able to discern m4 without optical aid while visiting central america. at a distance of only 7,000 light years, it is probably the nearest of all globular clusters and therefore one of the easiest to resolve — even a small. M19: stars out of round. due east of antares by 7° is m19, glowing at 7th magnitude. this is one of the milky way's most intrinsically luminous globulars. with an absolute magnitude of –9.2, it shines with 400,000 times the light of the sun. in a telescope, m19's peculiarity is its squashed shape.

Messier 4 is a beautiful globular cluster located in scorpius, very close to the bright orange star antares. the unique aspect of photographing m4 wide field is that you can see all the nebulous gas lit up by antares all around the bright star. this gas is part of the rho ophiuchi molecular cloud complex in ophiuchus scorpius. A fainter globular cluster ngc 6144 (mag 10.4, diameter 3.3') is located 0.83° ene of m4 and just 0.33° nw of antares.m4 is one of the nearest globular clusters and is the only one that charles messier could resolve into stars. because of its position deep in the milky way, m4 is significantly obscurred by interstellar dust and gas.
