The US space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shared an excellent video capturing an amazing collection of bright stars located 30,000 light years away.
In a social media post on its Instagram handle, the space agency said, “Liller 1 is a globular cluster – a nearly spherical group of stars held together by gravity. “However, while most clusters of this type are home to older stars, Liller 1 hosts two populations of stars with remarkably different ages.”

In the group of stars, “the largest star is 12 billion years old, and the youngest is only 1 to 2 billion years old, meaning that Liller 1 managed to form stars over an exceptionally long period of time.”
The viral video shared by NASA never fails to amaze stargazers and universe fans. A viral video shared by NASA shows the Liller 1 globular cluster containing stars between 1 and 12 billion years old.
