in reply to (moving) APOD • • •This short video uses the Our Galaxy app to show where the Intergalactic Wanderer (NGC 2419) is located our galaxy.
It first displays all the known globular clusters and then hones in on the Intergalactic Wanderer. As you can see, this globular cluster is much further way from the galactic center than most others. It is only loosely gravitationally bound to the Galaxy.
