The cluster contains one million stars. [Right] - An NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope colour photo of the core of 47 Tucanae. Multiple photos of this region allowed astronomers to track the "beehive swarm" motion of stars. Precise velocities were obtained for nearly 15,000 stars in this cluster. This image was taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys. Credit: [Left]: Very Large Telescope/European Southern Observatory, R. Kotak and H. Boffin (ESO). [Right]: NASA, ESA, and G.
