Messier 13, der große Kugelsternhaufen im Herkules, wurde 1714 von Edmund Halley entdeckt. Mit einer Flächenausdehnung von 20,0' (wahrer Durchmesser 145 Lichtjahre) und einer Helligkeit von 5,7 mag ist er unter einem dunklen Himmel bereits mit dem bloßen Auge zu sehen. Er umkreist unsere Heimat­milch­straße in einer Entfernung von 25 000 Lichtjahren.

I found out from Wikipedia that this distant object is called Sarah's Galaxy. I find this name more appropriate than the ordinary and vulgar one that people call it. Sarah's Galaxy refers to Sarah Williams, who wrote this poem that is all me now:

"Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night."
