What is the largest globular cluster?
Omega Centauri
Omega Centauri, the largest globular star cluster of the Milky Way, contains about 10 million stars. This behemoth, with a diameter of 230 light-years, is 10 times more massive than a typical globular cluster.
How do you observe a globular cluster?
Summer nights are the best time to start hunting for globular clusters, almost one third of them are to be found in the summer constellation of Sagittarius. When observing try to use high magnifications, for most clusters this gives the best views, making stars visible even close to the center.

Why do globular clusters not collapse?
What keeps these clusters from collapsing is the angular momentum of the stars as they orbit the cluster’s center of mass. It’s the same physics that keeps the solar system from collapsing.
