NASA reports that the Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of Messier 3 (M3), a massive globular cluster in the Milky Way. Globular clusters are spherical collections of stars that are gravitationally bound to each other. They contain ancient stars that form at roughly the same time from the same cloud of gas, which means the stars in the cluster are generally similar in age. NASA notes that M3 is among the most massive globular clusters in the Milky Way and that about 150 globular clusters are known in the Milky Way. Phys.org also describes the same Hubble image, identifying it as showing Messier 3 and reiterating its status as one of the Milky Way’s most massive globular clusters. Both sources focus on the appearance and identification of the target cluster in the Hubble image, without adding new observational measurements or changes to its scientific properties. The coverage centers on the released view of the star-filled cluster and its classification as a globular cluster.
