NGC 4372 is a globular cluster located in the constellation Centaurus. It is approximately 20,000 light-years away from Earth and contains several hundred thousand stars, making it one of the more populous clusters in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Discovered by James Dunlop in 1826, NGC 4372 is notable for its relatively low metallicity, indicating that it is an older cluster. It is classified as a type II globular cluster, which means it has a more concentrated core and a less uniform distribution of stars compared to other types.
