Comments: Although M15 is one of hundreds of globular clusters that occupy the halo surrounding the Milky Way Galaxy, it is also one the most beautiful. At a distance of approximately 30,000 light years it appears as a dense round ball of stars -- somewhat like a sparkeling jewel in the heavens. It measures about 160 light years in diameter. It can be see with the unaided eye, northwest of Epsilon Pegasi, as a faint blurry "star".
