Image caption:
This Hubble Space Telescope image presents a view of the interiors of the densely packed globular cluster Terzan 9 which consists of millions of stars located close to the heart of our Milky Way galaxy. This globular cluster sits within the central galatic bulge amidst interstellar dust, which obscures light from these star clusters. This image is a combination of light seen in the visible and infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Multi-wavelength imaging of the color and brightness of stars helps determine their age and in turn age of the parent star cluster.

Image caption: Diese Aufnahme des Hubble-Weltraumteleskops eröffnet einen Blick auf das Innere des dicht gepackten Kugelsternhaufens Terzan 9, der aus Millionen von Sternen besteht und sich in der Nähe des Herzens unserer Milchstraßengalaxie befindet. Dieser Kugelsternhaufen befindet sich im zentralen galaktischen Bulge inmitten von interstellarem Staub, der das Licht dieses Sternhaufens verdeckt. Das Bild ist eine Kombination aus Licht im sichtbaren und infraroten Bereich des elektromagnetischen Spektrums. Mithilfe solcher Multiwellenlängenaufnahmen der Farbe und Helligkeit von Sternen lässt sich ihr Alter – und damit auch das des gesamten Sternhaufens – bestimmen.

Image caption: Cette image du télescope spatial Hubble présente une vue de l'intérieur de l'amas globulaire Terzan 9, composé de millions d'étoiles et situé près du cœur de notre galaxie, la Voie lactée. Cet amas globulaire se trouve dans le bulbe central de la galaxie, au milieu de la poussière interstellaire, qui masque la lumière de ces amas d'étoiles. Cette image est une combinaison de la lumière observée dans les parties visible et infrarouge du spectre électromagnétique. L'imagerie multi-longueur d'onde de la couleur et de la luminosité des étoiles permet de déterminer leur âge et, par conséquent, l'âge de l'amas d'étoiles parent.

Image caption: Questa immagine del telescopio spaziale Hubble presenta uno scorcio dell'interno dell'ammasso globulare Terzan 9, composto da milioni di stelle e situato vicino al cuore della nostra Via Lattea. Questo ammasso globulare si trova all'interno del rigonfiamento galattico centrale in mezzo alla polvere interstellare, che oscura la luce di questi ammassi di stelle. Questa immagine è una combinazione di luce nelle bande visibile e infrarossa dello spettro elettromagnetico. La rappresentazione a lunghezze d'onda multiple del colore e della luminosità delle stelle contribuisce a stabilire la loro età e, di conseguenza, l'età dell'ammasso stellare madre.

Image caption: 这张哈勃空间望远镜拍摄的照片展示了密集的球状星团Terzan9的内部景象，Terzan9由数百万颗恒星组成，位于银河系中心附近。这个球状星团位于银河系中央核球附近，星际尘埃遮挡了这些星团发出的光线。这幅照片是电磁波谱中可见光和红外光的组合。对恒星的颜色和亮度进行多波长成像有助于确定它们的年龄，进而确定母星团的年龄。
