Globular Cluster M80 (also known as Messier Object 80, Messier 80, M80, or NGC 6093) is a globular clusterA globular cluster is a spherical bundle of stars (star cluster) that orbits a galaxy as a satellite.
NGC 6093 is a bright and moderately metal poor cluster, and one of the densest globular clusters in the Galaxy.
NGC 6093 is a globular cluster or constellation, one of the densest existing in quite distant space.

NGC 6093 (also called M80) is a globular cluster located 28,000 light years from Earth.
The Hubble Heritage Team at NASA used the HST to capture this image of NGC 6093 in early 1999.
The stars in NGC 6093 are believed to be some of the oldest stars in the universe, with ages up to 15 billion years.

M4 (NGC 6121) is a rather near globular cluster (6000-10,000 light years) but without a large telescope it will not appear very spectacular.
M80 (NGC 6093) is a rather faint, very compact, globular cluster in the vicinity of Antares, between this star and beta Scorpii, and more narrowly speaking, nearly midpoint between two 8th-magnitude stars (which are the brightest stars of the region).
NGC 6231 is a naked-eye open cluster one half degree north of zeta Scorpii (which is in fact a member of the group).

Astronomers estimate that NGC 1409 has consumed only about a million solar masses of gas and dust, which is not enough material to spawn some of the star-forming regions seen in our Milky Way.
The arms of NGC 1410, an active, gas-rich spiral galaxy classified as a Seyfert, are awash in blue, the signature color of star-forming regions.
The bar of material bisecting the center of NGC 1409 also is a typical byproduct of galaxy collisions.

 Messier Object 80
A second nova occured in globular cluster M14 in 1938 but was only photographically observed, and found years later.
A further nova was V 1148 Sagittarii which appeared near NGC 6553, but in this case a physical correlation is uncertain.
Other cataclysmic variable observations in globulars are occasionally reported: Early observations of dwarf novae were recorded for M5, M30 and NGC 6712, according to Cecilia Payne-Gaposhkin's book, Stars and Clusters.

In this stunning picture of the giant galactic nebula NGC 3603, the crisp resolution of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures various stages of the life cycle of stars in one single view.
The "proplyds" in NGC 3603 are 5 to 10 times larger in size and correspondingly also more massive.
This single view nicely illustrates the entire stellar life cycle of stars, starting with the Bok globules and giant gaseous pillars, followed by circumstellar disks, and progressing to evolved massive stars in the young starburst cluster.

NGC 6093 or M80 the great Globular Cluster
M80 (NGC 6093), one of the densest globular star clusters in the Milky Way galaxy is about 28,000 light-years from Earth and contains hundreds of thousands of stars, held together by gravitational attraction.
Globular clusters are particularly useful for studying stellar evolution, since all of the stars in the cluster have the same age and cover a range of stellar masses.
