Description
We present a color magnitude diagram (CMD) in the V and I bands reaching ~4 magnitudes below de turn off (TO) for the Galactic globular (?) cluster Pal 1. A comparison with other well-observed clusters and theoretical models suggest that Pal 1 has an age of 8+-2 Gyrs, which would make it the youngest globular cluster of our Galaxy.
