Sobre C81

Descrição

NGC 6352 is a globular cluster in Ara, about 18,300 light-years away. It is a relatively sparse, low-concentration cluster spanning about 7 arcminutes with an integrated magnitude of 8.2.

Dicas de Observação

Visible as a faint, round glow in a 6-inch telescope. An 8-inch scope begins to resolve the outer stars. Not as spectacular as nearby southern globulars but a pleasant target. Best in summer from southern locations.

História

Discovered by James Dunlop on June 14, 1826 from Australia. It is one of the metal-rich globular clusters in the inner halo of the Milky Way.

Curiosidades

NGC 6352 has a relatively high metal content for a globular cluster, placing it among the younger generation of globulars that formed after the galaxy had been enriched by earlier generations of supernovae.
