Named after its discoverer, the French-Armenian astronomer Agop Terzan, this is the globular cluster Terzan 7--a densely packed ball of stars bound together by gravity. It lies just over 75,000 light-years away from us on the other side of our galaxy, the Milky Way. It is a peculiar cluster, quite unlike others we observe, making it an intriguing object of study for astronomers.
