Hubble Space Telescope Image of central region of M15 This Hubble "Wide Field Planetary Camera 2" image reveals the central region of the globular cluster M15. Here we see the core, with about a thousand stars confined within the innermost 1.

Summary

Description	English: Hubble Space Telescope Image of central region of M15 This Hubble "Wide Field Planetary Camera 2" image reveals the central region of the globular cluster M15. Here we see the core, with about a thousand stars confined within the innermost 1.6 light years of the cluster. Images in ultraviolet, blue, and visual light were combined for this picture so that the colors roughly correspond to the surface temperatures of stars in M15. Hot stars appear blue, while cooler stars appear reddish-orange.

This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it.

Image title	The Chandra X-ray Observatory image of a previously identified neutron star binary system in the globular cluster M15, revealed not one binary system, but two appearing in close proximity. In the neutron star binary system on the left source (left) the neutron star is hidden by an accretion disk of hot matter swirling onto it from its companion star. The second neutron star binary system (right) undergoes occasional X-ray outbursts that reveal the surface of the neutron star. This is the first time that more than one neutron star binary system has been observed in a globular cluster.
