The center of the globular cluster M15 suffered a core collapse and therefor is extremely compact.
The right part of this image shows some "galactic cirrus". Dust and molecular clouds between the stars and above the galactic disk. They don't glow by themselves but reflect the integrated light of the stars of our galaxy, and are therefore also called "Integrated Flux Nebula".
This framing was inspired by the outstanding image by Bart Delsaert.
