A four-paneled image of four globular clusters. The first image is of a very loose cluster of stars; the second shows a more defined but still loose cluster. The third is a defined spherical cluster with a large, bright white center of collected stars; the fourth is another defined rounded cluster with a smaller white center of stars.

Astronomers used Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3, or WFC3, to observe four globular clusters in a small nearby galaxy known as the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal galaxy.
