Palomar 5 is a globular cluster and a member of the Palomar Globular Clusters group. It was discovered by Walter Baade in 1950, and independently found again by Albert George Wilson in 1955. After the initial name of Serpens, it was subsequently catalogued as Palomar 5.

There is a process of disruption acting on this cluster because of the gravitation of the Milky Way – in fact there are many stars leaving this cluster in the form of a stellar stream. The stream has a mass of 5000 solar masses and is 30,000 light years long.[6] The cluster is currently 60.6 kly (18.6 kpc) from the Galactic Center. It shows a noticeable amount of flattening, with an aspect ratio of 0.62 ± 0.23 between its semimajor axis and semiminor axis.[7]

Паломар 5 (Palomar 5, Pal 5) — шаровое звёздное скопление, открытое Вальтером Бааде в 1950 году. В 1955 году скопление было независимо обнаружено Альбертом Уилсоном (англ. Albert George Wilson). Первоначально скопление получило название Serpens (Змея) по названию созвездия, в котором оно было открыто, но затем данное скопление внесли в каталог как Паломар 5.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
