Located roughly 17,000 light-years away in the constellation Centaurus, Omega Centauri (NGC 5139) is the largest and most luminous globular cluster in the Milky Way, housing over 10 million stars. This deep H-alpha and LRGB (HALRGB) composite reveals the brilliant, densely packed stellar core alongside subtle surrounding interstellar structures and faint atmospheric glow across the deep field.
