It's like flying there

It's like flying there
..or should that be 'spacecrafting there'? I love these deep zooms - imagine it on the Oculus Rift!

Zooming in on globular star cluster NGC 6362 | ESO
This video starts with a broad view of the Milky Way. We close in gradually on a fuzzy blob in the southern constellation of Ara (The Altar). This is one of more than 150 globular star clusters that orbit the center of our galaxy. The main image of the cluster used here comes from the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile and the final detailed view of the center from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
