Ooh, sparkly!

Check out this new 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).
