Astronomy Adventure – Messier 28

Messier 28 is another nice globular cluster located in the constellation Sagittarius. It was actually “discovered” by Messier in 1764 and, although probably just beyond a naked eye object, it is easily seen as a fuzz patch with binoculars. The current claim to fame of this cluster is that it contains the third largest collection of pulsars in a cluster.
