NGC 6397 is one of the closest globular cluster in the night sky. The globular contains around 400.000 stars. Its apparent size is a bit smaller than Messier 22, making it the fourth biggest cluster in the sky. The age of the cluster is calculated in 13.6 billion years close to the age of our Milky Way...
