Djorgovski 1 is a globular cluster discovered in 1986 by George Djorgovski who was looking for possible obscured globular clusters using the IRAS Point Source Catalog.{{cite journal |last1=Djorgovski |first1=S |title=Discovery of three obscured globular clusters |journal=The Astrophysical Journal |volume=317 |pages=L13 |bibcode=1987ApJ...317L..13D |doi=10.1086/184903|year=1987 |url=https://authors.library.caltech.edu/97628/1/1987ApJ___317L__13D.pdf }} Studies show that its stars are "metal-poor" – they contain hydrogen and helium but little else. Djorgovski 1 is actually one of the most metal-poor clusters in the inner galaxy.{{cite web |title=Engulfed by stars near the Milky Way's heart |url=https://www.spacetelescope.org/images/potw1126a/ |website=Hubble Space telescope |accessdate=19 June 2015 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150619153933/https://www.spacetelescope.org/images/potw1126a/ |archivedate=19 June 2015 |url-status=dead }}
