Waarnemen – Hercules
Hercules is de sterke man uit de oude mythologie. Hij was de zoon van Jupiter die de beroemde twaalf opdrachten uit moest voeren (In de Griekse mythologie was hij Heracles, zoon van Zeus).

Ooh, sparkly!
Check out this new #JWST image of the globular star cluster Messier 92 (M92). The rather conspicuous black strip in the center is a chip gap, the result of the separation between NIRCam’s two long-wavelength detectors. The gap was deliberately placed to cover the dense center of the cluster, which is too bright to capture at the same time as the fainter, less dense outskirts.

M92
Magnitude 6.4 globular cluster located 26,700 light-years away in the constellation Hercules. M92 is approaching us at 112 km/sec and was a "Polarissima Borealis", or "North Cluster", about 12,000 years ago (10,000 BC), and it will again in about 14,000 years (16,000 AD).

M92
Magnitude 6.4 globular cluster located 26,700 light-years away in the constellation Hercules. It was discovered by Johann Elert Bode in 1777 and catalogued by Charles Messier in 1781. William Herschel first resolved individual stars in the cluster in 1783.
