Astronomy Picture of the Day has featured a stunning image of Globular Star Cluster Omega Centauri, a massive cluster packing about 10 million stars into a volume some 150 light-years in diameter. This is exciting for sky-watchers because Omega Centauri is the largest and brightest globular cluster in the sky, offering a breathtaking view of ancient stars. Sky enthusiasts can look for Omega Centauri in the southern constellation of Centaurus, about 15,000 light-years from Earth.
