This zoom into the globular star cluster Omega Centauri converges onto the Hubble Wide Field Camera 3's panoramic view of 100,000 stars lying in the center of the cluster. The stars vary in age and change color as they get older. Most of them are middle-aged, yellowish stars like our Sun. But as they near the end of their lives, they balloon into red giants, and later still, into hot, blue stars.
