Stars are considered astronomical objects popularly known to float in space. The older the star is, the brighter it appears to be. The formation of a star is done in the so-called Nebulae - region composed of gases, the main ones being hydrogen and helium. After their formation, the stars end up forming groups from the same Nebula, called Star Cluster.
Clusters are stable groups that are strongly connected to various stars that are associated with all types of galaxies. Due to this quantity and mutual gravitational attraction, such clusters have a shape approximately spherical, retaining a bright, central concentration of stars surrounded by a sprinkling of stars.
The Hubble Telescope was able to capture a globular galactic cluster that resides in the inner regions of our Milky Way. Such a cluster is called NGC 6355 and is located about 50,000 light years from Planet Earth, in the constellation of Ophiuchus. The image was captured with the help of Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and Wide Fied Camera 3.
ACS was designed precisely to search large areas of the sky in visible and red wavelengths with 10 times more efficient than the previous Hubble Premier Camera, critical to capturing such incredible images like this.
