Omega Centauri (NGC5139)
This largest of Milky Way's globular clusters probably contains more than a few million stars (estimates range from 3 million to 10 million).
Omega Centauri or NGC 5139 is a globular cluster of stars orbiting our galaxy, the Milky Way, discovered by Edmond Halley in 1677.
Omega Nebula, M17
A nebula about 5,500 light-years away that is giving birth to new stars.

The Omega Nebula, or Messier 17 (NGC 6618), is a star-forming region with about 35 hot, bright, young stars radiating energy that produces the reddish glow in the nebula. The stars are hidden in the nebulosity and obscured from view.
