      Rho Ophiuchi Region

      ρ Ophiuchi region : Antares is the bright yellow star, ALNiyat the red star,. ρ Ophiuchi is the close pair in blue nebulosity, you can also see the reflection nebula inside blue nebulosity. Two dust cloud filaments just make it hypnotic. You can also find M4, M80, NGC 6144 globular cluster. A globular cluster is a spherical collection of stars. Globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity, which gives them their spherical shapes and high stellar densities toward their centers. The name of this category of star cluster is derived from the Latin, globulus—a small sphere. Occasionally, a globular cluster is known simply as a globular.
