(Redirected from Globular Cluster M19)
'Messier 19' (also known as 'M19' or 'NGC 6273') is a
globular cluster in the
constellation Ophiuchus. It was discovered by
Charles Messier in
1764 and added to his catalog of
comet-like objects that same year.
M19 is the most
oblate known globular cluster. It is at a distance of about 28,000
light-years from the
Solar System, and quite near to the
Galactic Center, only about 5,200 light-years away.
