Messier 15 (also designated NGC 7078) is a globular cluster in the constellation Pegasus. It has a radius of 88 lightyears, and sits at a distance of 35,700 lightyears away giving it an apparent size of 18 arc minutes in diameter. It is one of the most densely packed globular clusters in the milky way, and its core has undergone a contraction known as “core collapse”
