NGC 7099, also known as NGC 7099, is a globular cluster located in the southern constellation of Dorado. It is approximately 13,000 light-years away from Earth and is one of the closest globular clusters to our planet. NGC 7099 is notable for its relatively low metallicity, which indicates that it is an older cluster formed early in the universe's history. Discovered by James Dunlop in 1826, NGC 7099 contains hundreds of thousands of stars tightly packed together. Its bright core and surrounding halo make it a fascinating object for astronomers studying the formation and evolution of star clusters. The cluster is also designated as ESO 56-SC38 in the ESO catalog.
