The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) never fails to captivate people with their numerous captures. Now, once again, the space agency went viral after they shared a video of a collection of stars that is 30,000 light years away from the Earth. Soon after the clip of the stunning capture was shared, it quickly caught thousands of eyeballs and left many mesmerised.
As NASA shared the clip, in the caption of the post, they informed, "Liller 1 is a globular cluster – a roughly spherical grouping of stars held together by gravity. However, while most of these types of clusters are home to older stars, Liller 1 hosts two populations of stars with remarkably different ages."

They further added, "The older one is 12 billion years old, and the youngest is just 1 to 2 billion years old, meaning Liller 1 managed to form stars over an extraordinarily long period of time."
