Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice would be the globular cluster Omega Centauri, as it is one of the largest and most massive clusters of stars in the Milky Way. It contains more than a million stars closely packed together, which would fulfill the producer's request. The other options, although visually stunning, do not contain as many stars as Omega Centauri.
