Messier 2 (also designated NGC 7089) is a globular cluster located in the constellation Aquarius approximately 37,500 light-years from the Earth. The cluster is one of the oldest in the Milky Way and contains about 150,000 stars spanning 175 light-years. Many of the brighter stars are red and yellow giants which makes for a colorful portrait of this stunning celestial object. 1http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messier_2
