Inside the M55 star cluster: video

Crazy sequence in high definition A journey up to 17,300 light-years from Earth to discover the globular cluster M55

This video begins with a wide view of the stunning scene milky wayOur galaxy. Little by little we approach a seemingly blurry point that turns out to be an amazing spherical array. Messi 55. In the final sequence, we see a highly detailed infrared view of M55 taken by the VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory’s Paranal Observatory, in Chile. Enjoy this journey at a distance of up to 17,300 light-years from Earth. Here is the video:

Visions in the Milky Way

All the stars in the Milky Way revolve around Supermassive black hole At the center of the galaxy, which is estimated to be four million times more massive than our galaxy insole. Fortunately, it is a safe distance from Earth, about 28,000 light-years away. Our galaxy (100,000 light-years in diameter) is one of countless billions in the universe, each containing millions, or often billions, of its own stars. The Milky Way Galaxy rotates along a single galactic orbit Average speed is about 828,000 km/h. It takes our solar system about 230 million years to complete one orbit around the galactic center. The Milky Way Galaxy is part of Local groupIt is a “neighborhood” about 10 million light-years long, and consists of more than 30 galaxies bound together by gravity. Apart from our galaxy, the largest of this group is… AndromedaWhich is close to and between the Milky Way About four billion years ago they will merge Creating one massive galaxy. We just have to wait, it will be a great display visible in the night sky.
