It is found in the constellation of Taurus and to the naked eye appears as six or seven fuzzy stars. Again detailed observations show more than these seven bright stars but in fact there are some two hundred stars. Also in Taurus is the Hyades cluster. This cluster is centered around Alderbaran the brightest star in the constellation. It should be noted that Aldebaran is not part of the cluster but is actually closer to us.
Globular clusters are much older, more compact, objects existing on the edges of our galaxy.
The first two are the finest examples but are, unfortunately, not viewable from Britain. M13 is to be found in the constellation of Hercules. To the unaided eye it can be seen as a fuzzy patch. Under a telescope it explodes into a body containing thousands of stars. These are believed to be some of the oldest objects in the universe.
