In Globular star cluster M3, around 500,000 stars are crowding within just 125 light years. This #astrophotography image taken with my #Celestron #Origin lets you recognize a mixture of old, red giant stars and “blue stragglers”, which were formed by mass exchange or even mergers between two stars.
