 
47 Tucanae is a globular cluster near the Small Magellanic Cloud
(as viewed from Earth). It is a collection of hundreds of
thousands of stars, tightly grouped. Visible to the naked eye
under dark skies, it is a well known and much loved southern
hemisphere celestial object. While not as large as it's big
brother Omega Centauri it's often preferred for it's cosmetic
appeal.This photograph shows the globular cluster 47 Tucanae
with surrounding stars. There are actually several smaller
clusters visible in the same photograph, surrounding 47 Tucanae.
These smaller clusters are likely part of the Small Magellanic
Cloud. The space shown around 47 Tucanae in this image help to
give it a sense of scale, and interest.
As with all our photographs, prints of 47 Tucanae come
signed individually by the photographer and professionally
printed on archival stock.
