Palomar 14 , also known as GCl 38 , is a globular cluster in the outer area of the Milky Way in the constellation Hercules . The globular cluster was found in 1958 by astronomers Sidney van den Bergh and Halton Arp in photographs from the Palomar Sky Survey . It has a round, diffuse appearance and, at 10 billion years old, is around 3–4 billion years younger than a typical globular cluster in the Milky Way.
