An Immersive Visualization of the Galactic Center
This immersive 360-degree video visualizes what it might be like to look out from our galaxy's center. Based on infrared data from ESO's Very Large Telescope and X-ray data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the simulation shows a close approach to Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center.
