Hubble captures globular cluster NGC 2031

In the top left corner of this starry sight, the globular cluster NGC 2031 shines brilliantly. This dense group of thousands of stars is held together in a spherical shape by its stars’ mutual gravitational attraction. The cluster is located in the constellation Mensa in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way with many star-forming regions. It is visible from Earth’s southern hemisphere.
