M2 Globular Cluster
Out of this World
The globular cluster M2 is one of the oldest and densest globular clusters known in the Milky Way. It is located approximately 55,000 light-years away in the constellation of Aquarius. This cluster is a spherical collection of stars, numbering up to hundreds of thousands, all gravitationally bound and orbiting around a common center. M2 is renowned for its stellar density and impressive concentration of stars within a relatively small space. The stars comprising the globular cluster are mostly old and low-mass stars, indicating that M2 formed billions of years ago. The estimated age of M2 is around 13 billion years, making it one of the oldest known globular clusters. Its antiquity and stellar density make it a fascinating object for astronomers, as the study of globular clusters like M2 can provide invaluable insights into the formation and evolution of our galaxy, as well as the universe at large.

More About Out of this World

The planet Earth has proven to be too limiting for our awesome community of panorama photographers. We're getting an increasing number of submissions that depict locations either not on Earth (like Mars, the Moon, and Outer Space in general) or do not realistically represent a geographic location on Earth (either because they have too many special effects or are computer generated) and hence don't strictly qualify for our Panoramic World project.But many of these panoramas are extremely beautiful or popular of both.So, in order to accommodate our esteemed photographers and the huge audience that they attract to 360Cities with their panoramas, we've created a new section (we call it an "area") called "Out of this World" for panoramas like these.Don't let the fact that these panoramas are being placed at the Earth's South Pole fool you - we had to put them somewhere in order not to interfere with our Panoramic World.Welcome aboard on a journey "Out of this World".
