List of globular clusters
- List of globular clusters
This is a list of globular clusters. The apparentmagnitude does not include an extinction correction.
Milky Way
These are globular clusters within the halo of the Milky Way galaxy. The diameter is in minutes of arc as seen from Earth. For reference, the J2000 epoch celestial coordinates of the Galactic Center are R.A.RA|17|45|40.04, Dec. DEC|-29|00|28.1. A high proportion of globular clusters are located in the Ophiuchus and Sagittarius constellations, both of which lie in the direction of the galactic core.
