The globular cluster of M15 pictured above is part of the constellation Pegasus, commonly known as the Winged Horse. Continuously circuling the Milky Way, this globular cluster consists of over 100,000 stars and its 'Great Square' appearance easily visible in the night sky. Although I have covered M15 as an APOD in the past, I chose it again due to the amazing visual it represents here and its significance relative to the Milky Way Galaxy. Its varying colors of orange and blue stars that encompass the white glow in the center is incredibly eye appealing and adds to the amazingness of M15.
