Imagine what the night sky would look like if we lived here. The average distance between any two stars in the crowded core of globular cluster Omega Centauri is only about a third of a light-year, The core glitters with the combined light of 2 million stars. The entire cluster contains 10 million stars, and is among the biggest and most massive of some 200 globular clusters orbiting the Milky Way Galaxy. Omega Centauri lies 17,000 light-years from Earth.
