Zooming in on the star cluster IC 4651
This video starts with a view of the southern Milky Way and takes us on a journey towards the open star cluster IC 4651, in the constellation of Ara (The Altar). The MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile captured the final rich and colourful close-up view.
