A composite color image of the faint globular star cluster Palomar 13, located in the halo of our Milky Way Galaxy. The image shows a sparse collection of stars, with a brighter foreground star near the bottom creating imaging artifacts. Palomar 13 has an eccentric orbit, bringing it close to the galactic center every billion years, causing its stars to be stripped away by tidal forces. This could be its final approach to the galactic center.
