Sirius Stargazing: Globular Cluster M15

M15 is one of the easiest Globular Clusters to find, and ranks 12th brightest of 158 associated with the Milky Way. Its unusually dense core suggests the presence of a black hole, shrouded by the hundreds of thousands of ancient stars, that appear through our binoculars as tiny patch of light.

You're well on your way to becoming a new Neil Tyson or Carl Sagan. Keep up the fantastic work, mate!

Merry Christmas TK.

Being new to all of this, I just saw M15 for the first time tonight! My 1st star cluster. I couldn't see it with my 8 x 50 finder scope. But could find and see it easy with my 10" Dob. This was my 4th Messier. M33, M45, M43, M15. Wish it was easy and cheap to take pictures. Funny, I'm 52 years old, but I get feeling like a giddy 15 year old. . . Except for the back ache. LOL

@MikeFromTheUK1 I don't think God would have made his kingdom accessible directly to humans, knowing we're born with sin and have less than honorable nature/intentions. Eventually, technology will enable us to explore deeper and deeper in space. I believe it has to be another dimension, rather than a physical domain in this one. A lot of ppl get upset when you mix science and religion, but with respect to both, I can explain this in further detail using common sense.

A still more glorious dawn awaits ;) Not a sun rise, but a galaxy rise.

Please make more of these. I just got a pair of 15x70 binoculars a few weeks ago and have found this series very helpful. I think I found M31 whilst camping.. but I'm not sure, it wasn't nearly as clear as I expected. Maybe that's normal... I'll never know until you do an episode on it ;)
