Hi,
M4 is a large apparent size globular cluster right next to Antares, the brightest star in the constellation Scorpius.
The reason why M4 is bright and large is simply due to its distance.
At only 7,200 light years, it's one of the closest globular clusters to our Solar System.

Any comments are welcome.
Best regards.
