At an age of 13 billion years, it is one of the most ancient globular clusters known, forming only a few billion years after the Big Bang. M5 is one of the 160 globular clusters known to reside in a spherical halo around the Milky Way's galactic center. M5 is one of the larger globular clusters, containing about 100,000 stars within a diameter of 165 light years.
