Messier 4 (M4) – The NGC 6121 Globular Cluster

M4 is one of the most open, or loosely constructed of globular clusters, as its high-classification of IX indicates (the higher the number, the less dense the cluster). Its central mass measures about 8 light years in diameter, but its full reach is 75 light years across. On top of that, its gravitational influence stretches for about 140 light years.

Nice image Harold! Where did you shoot this from? I have too many trees and street lights from my location to get a clean image.
