Zooming in on Globular Star Cluster Messier 54 | Hubble
This video takes you on a journey past the center of the Milky Way and far out the other side to the globular cluster Messier 54. This cluster looks very similar to many others, but it has a secret. Messier 54 does not belong to the Milky Way, but actually is part of a small satellite galaxy, the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy. The final close-up view comes from the VLT Survey Telescope at the European Southern Observatory’s Paranal Observatory in northern Chile.
