The Omega Centauri is the 29th Interstellar Object, the 3rd Milky Way Galaxy and the 1st Cluster obtained in The Beyond Bubble Universe, which can generate Stardust. (Unlocked at Rank 25)
In-Game Description[]
"A dense ball of 10.5 million stars, Omega Centauri is the biggest and brightest of about 200 globular clusters in the galaxy. The average distance between its stars is just one tenth of a light year—about as close as the inner Oort Cloud is to the Sun."
Traits[]
Common[]
- Halo (Speed) (Appears in garden):
"Unlike the Pleiades and other open star clusters, globular clusters aren’t on the galactic plane or part of the disk. They orbit the entire galaxy in a spherical halo with a diameter on par with that of the disk. Dark matter—invisible to us—extends the halo."
- Remnant Core? (Payout):
"The stars that make up globular clusters are nearly as old as the universe, meaning they formed before the galaxy itself took shape. Oddly, Omega Centauri also has new stars laced with metals. Could it harbor the remnants of another galaxy that Milky Way devoured?"
Rare[]
- Milky Way (Payout):
"The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy that's rotating while speeding through space, like a hurricane crossing a dark ocean. A dense nucleus is embedded in a thin disk of gas and stars, all of which is encased in a massive sphere, or halo, of sparse stars."
Epic[]
- Cosmology (Speed):
"The scientific study of the universe asks the very biggest questions. How did it form? What came before? How does it work? Is it infinite? Will it die? All the pieces we observe—comets, moons, planets, stars, galaxies, nebulae, and even voids—provide some answers."
- Dark Matter (Payout):
"Dark matter acts like a superhero. It’s everywhere in space and yet invisible. Its gravity distorts huge objects that we can see. It can even buttress a dwarf galaxy against annihilation by a giant one. The duo of dark matter and dark energy make up 95% of the universe."
- Dark Energy (Discount):
"Little is known about dark energy, except that it’s repulsive. Opposing gravity, this strange force causes matter to scatter rather than attract, pushing our universe to expand faster and faster. Dark energy makes up 68% of the universe’s mass-energy density."
Constellations[]
- Eridanus (1.5x Speed):
"Eridanus, The River, is the longest constellation in the sky. It starts near Rigel and twists and turns all the way to its brightest star, Achernar ("River's End" in Arabic). It was named after Eridu, an early Sumerian city in the marshes of what is now southern Iraq."
- Hercules (2x Speed):
"The Roman warrior-god who defeated the Nemean lion (Leo), the Crab (Cancer), and Hydra, too, has a broad, squarish chest made of four stars, called the Keystone. Mighty Hercules is kneeling over Draco, the dragon he slew."
- Vela (1.5x Speed):
"The Sails belong to the Argo, the ship that carried Jason and the Argonauts on their mythic quest to find the Golden Fleece. Vela is a Heavenly Waters constellation, along with Carina, Puppis, Eridanus, and others."
47 Tucanae Cluster[]

"This globular cluster, the second-most visible from Earth, is emitting strange radio signals. A pulsar? Or is it a black hole? It could be the first intermediate black hole—between stellar and supermassive—ever detected in a ball of stars."
Achievements[]
- 47 Tucanae Cluster (Rank 3):
"This globular cluster, the second-most visible from Earth, is emitting strange radio signals. A pulsar? Or is it a black hole? It could be the first intermediate black hole—between stellar and supermassive—ever detected in a ball of stars."
- Immigrant Stars (Rank 6):
"Gaia is a mission to map the Milky Way in 3D. The space telescope found old stars in the halo that were born together in another galaxy and still travel as a pack. We know they’re immigrants because their speed, trajectory, and chemistry differ from native stars."
