Here is a very distant globular cluster called NGC 6229 found in the constellation Hercules, it is about 100,000 light years distant. It has a visual magnitude of 9.39. What a difference distant makes when you compare this globular cluster with the spectacular Hercules cluster (25,000 light years away) which is found in the same constellation.

Here is the Cat’s Eye Nebula (aka NGC 6543) taken from Hubble. It is one of the most complex planetary nebulae ever seen. Planetary nebulae form when Sun-like stars gently eject their outer gaseous layers, creating amazing and confounding shapes as seen in the image.
