Palomar 1 is a globular cluster in the constellation Cepheus in thehalo of the Milky Way galaxy. First discovered discovered by George Ogden Abell in 1954 on the Palomar Survey Sky plates,cite journal

doi=10.1086/126815] it was cataloged as a globular cluster. At 6.3 to 8 Gyr, it is a very young cluster compared when with the other globular clusters in the Milky Way.It is a relatively metal-rich globular with [Fe/H] = -0.60.cite journal
