NGC 5634

'NGC 5634 is a globular cluster in the constellation Virgo. NGC 5634 has an apparent magnitude of 10 to 11 and a diameter of 4 to 5.9 arc minutes, class IV with stars 19th magnitude. There's a 11th magnitude star on the east edge. The distance is about 27 kiloparsec.

Due to the similarity of the orbit, a connection of the cluster with the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy is assumed. According to this, the dwarf galaxy would have been held before it was torn by the gravitation of the Milky Way.
