Globular star cluster From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NGC 2210 is a globular cluster located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, in the constellation Dorado. It is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere. It was first discovered by astronomer John Herschel on January 31, 1835.[1] In 2017, Rachel Wagner-Kaiser and a group of researchers from the University of Florida discovered that NGC 2210, as well as five other globular clusters located in the Large Magellanic Cloud were of roughly the same age as some star clusters found in the Milky Way, and that NGC 2210 is roughly 11.6 billion years old.[2] It was first imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2023.
