In Globular star cluster M3, around 500,000 stars are crowding within just 125 light years. This #astrophotography image taken with my #Celestron #Origin lets you recognize a mixture of old, red giant stars and “blue stragglers”, which were formed by mass exchange or even mergers between two stars.

🛰️✨ Rush hour in space!🚀💫
From 9 PM to 12:15 AM, the night sky was busy.
This image shows the "leftovers" of a long exposure capturing everything that flew across the sky
Satellites, Planes and probably a few aliens on their way to a cosmic afterwork drink.
Amidst all that chaos, the majestic M65
