Laevens 1
Laevens 1 is a faint globular cluster in the constellation Crater that was discovered in 2014. It is also known as Crater, the Crater cluster and PSO J174.0675-10.8774. At a distance of 145 kiloparsecs (470 kly) it is the most distant Milky Way globular cluster yet known, located in the galactic halo surrounding the Milky Way galaxy. With an age of only 7.5 Gyr, it is likely to have been incorporated into our galaxy long after the formation of the Milky Way, probably during an interaction with the Small Magellanic Cloud.
