Daily Telescope: A shiny cluster of stars in a nearby galaxy

Good morning. It's April 2, and today's photo comes from the venerable Hubble Space Telescope. It showcases a globular cluster, NGC 1651, in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This cluster of stars is about 120 light-years across. Like other such globular clusters, it is generally spherical, as the stars are bound to one another by gravity. Thus, there is a higher concentration of stars near the center of the cluster. Pretty much every bright light in this image is a star but for a lovely spiral galaxy. Can you find it?
