Flight to Dwarf Galaxy Bedin 1 | Hubble

This computer animation, using real astronomical data from the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescopes and from ground-based telescopes, allows us to fly through the globular cluster NGC 6752 and shows the newly discovered dwarf galaxy Bedin 1 behind it. The galaxy, about 30 million light-years away, is classified as a dwarf spheroidal galaxy and has been nicknamed Bedin 1, after the principal investigator.
