The globular cluster M80 (IMAGE)
Caption
Caption: About 28,000 light-years away, the globular cluster M80 is home to hundreds of thousands of stars bound together by gravity. Crowded environments like this can help drive the growth of black holes through consecutive mergers. Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI, and A. Sarajedini (University of Florida).
