m22 III

Previous attempts proved just as difficult. Low over the south western horizon, accompanied this year by Saturn, lies this cluster seen through the collection of stars in the milky way looking toward the galactic centre. 10 light years distant and first noted by Abraham Ihle who also had Saturn in the same constellation as he viewed the first globular cluster to be recorded; Germany 26th. July 1665.

Metals are formed when a star explodes into a supernova at the end of its life. Its atoms of hydrogen fuse into heavier nuclei from which form metals.
