      NGC 288

      This is a globular cluster in Sculptor. Unusual in that the stars are loosely clustered. The star colors indicate different stages of evolution. The smaller white stars are similar to our Sun. The orange stars are older red giants and the blue stars are more massive and the oldest. Combination of 4 OneClick observations.
