Notes
Its stars are very old, among the oldest in our galaxy, and the Milky Way has about 150 of these clusters circling it.
Tap it and the cluster breathes: it draws in, swells out and settles, the core first and the outer stars a moment later, while a wave of sparkle runs out from the middle. Near the middle of a real cluster, the stars are packed far more tightly than the stars around the Sun.
