102-globular-cluster-dixon – Globular clusters may be the cores of galaxies that were disrupted by tidal interactions. Dozens of them swarm like bees about the core of the Milky Way ; This illustration captures a spectacular night sky dominated by a massive, densely packed globular cluster containing thousands of individual stars that concentrate into a brilliant white core. The periphery of the stellar cluster radiates outward with multi-colored stars, blending into the dark void of space. This cosmic view is framed from the low-angle perspective of a cold, textured planetary horizon, which shows rolling, icy terrain faintly illuminated by the collective starlight above. acrylic on board, 1977.
