Globular Cluster M30, also known as NGC 7099, is a dense collection of stars located in the constellation Capricornus. It is approximately 26,000 light-years away from Earth and is one of the oldest known globular clusters, with an estimated age of around 13.8 billion years. M30 contains hundreds of thousands of stars, tightly packed together, and is notable for its bright core. Discovered by the astronomer Carlo Emilio Bonifacio, M30 is classified as a type II globular cluster, which means it has a high concentration of stars in its center. It is best observed with telescopes, appearing as a fuzzy ball of light in the night sky.
