Studies have shown that the content of neon, argon, oxygen, carbon and chlorine in NGC 6153 is three times higher than in the solar system, and the nitrogen content is five times. Perhaps this is the result of the evolutionary processes of the star itself, but most likely the star was formed in an environment that was already initially rich in these chemical elements [1] .
