	Star Clusters - Globular
		Globular clusters are not formed within the galaxy structure, but usually large numbers of them form a halo around the main galactic structure.
		Globular clusters usually require a larger telescope and higher magnification to observe to best effect, although the larger and closer ones can be spectacular in small instruments.
		Stellar concentration is average for a globular cluster and it is one of the metal-richest globulars.

	Globular clusters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Globular clusters are particularly useful for studying stellar evolution, since all of the stars in the cluster have the same age (about 15 billion years), but cover a range of stellar masses.
		M14 is a small sized globular cluster, easternmost in three globulars with Messier's number (M10, M12 and M14) in a pentagon of Ophiuchus.
		M14 is lying at the west coast of the Milky Way in summer; so uncountable fine stars surround the cluster.

	Globular Star Clusters
		Globular clusters are gravitationally bound concentrations of approximately ten thousand to one million stars, spread over a volume of several tens to about 200 light years in diameter.
		Globular clusters typically contain a number of variable stars, in particular RR Lyrae stars which were once called "Cluster Variables" because of their abundance in globulars.
		It is perhaps a bit surprising that almost all globular clusters seem to be of about the same age; there seems to be a physical reason that they all formed in a short period of time in the history of the universe, and this period was apparently long ago when the galaxies were young.

	Digital Photograph of M14
		M14 is a slightly elliptically shaped stellar swarm, about 100 light years across and about 30,000 light years away; older determinations have given values between 64,000 ly (Shapley) and 23,000 (Mallas/Kreimer) to 24,000 ly (Glyn Jones, Kinman, Becvar); the Sky Catalogue 2000.0 had 38,000 ly.
		Shapley assigned it an ellipticity of 9, extended in position angle 110 deg.
		While its bright main body about only about 3 arc minutes in angular diameter, the cluster's outlayers reach out to a total apparent diameter of 11.7 arc min.

		Globular clusters are a gravitationally bound concentration of a massive amount of stars.
		Globular clusters are also believed to be very old and formed from an earlier generation of stars due to the fact that they are much lower in heavy element abundance than other stars such as the Sun.
		This particular globular cluster, M14, was one of the original discoveries of Charles Messier who documented it on June 1, 1764.

		However the nova's stellar neighborhood is extremely blurred and confused, as viewed from the ground, due to the high crowding of the stars in the globular cluster.
		The first of these two known novae was observed in the globular cluster Messier 80 (in the constellation Scorpius) in the year 1860.
		Whether this fact alone represents another discovery, for example, that old novae in globular clusters are different from the ordinary kind outside of clusters, remains to be determined.
