At ten times the size of our Milky Way, the galaxy seen here…

At ten times the size of our Milky Way, the galaxy seen here by the Hubble Space Telescope at the right of the frame, has a strong enough gravitational pull to hold onto more than 30,000 globular clusters of stars. The galaxy, named NGC 4874, is surrounded by these point-like objects that each contain many hundreds of thousands of stars. More: http://go.nasa.gov/2fFTlNh
