Globular Cluster M5 captured by FOCAS on the Subaru Telescope. This image was created by combining three different wavelengths: B-band (440 nanometers), V-band (550 nanometers), and I-band (805 nanometers). Blue, green, and red colors were assigned to these wavelengths respectively. The exposure times are 8 seconds for B-band, 6 seconds for V-band, and 6 seconds for I-band. (Credit: NAOJ)
