I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.
What we do. Every page goes through several hundred of perfecting techniques; in live mode. Quite the same Wikipedia. Just better.

NGC 7492 is a globular cluster[1] in the constellation Aquarius. It was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel on September 20, 1786.[5] It resides in the outskirts of the Milky Way, about 80,000 light-years away, more than twice the distance between the Sun and the center of the galaxy, and is a benchmark member of the outer galactic halo.[6] The cluster is immersed in, but does not kinematically belong to, the Sagittarius Stream.[7]

NGC 7492 possess a tidal tail 3.5 degrees long,[8] embedded into an over-density of stars which may be the remnants of a disrupted dwarf galaxy.[9] The shape of the cluster is flattened rather than spherical, likely due to dynamical interaction with the Milky Way.[10]
