Using the "Our Galaxy" app, we show where the globular cluster NGC 6355 is located in our galaxy. The cluster is deeply embedded in the galactic bulge and is heavily obscured from our point of view. We turn on a wire frame rendering of the bulge so the cluster can be better seen.
The free "Our Galaxy" app can be found at otherwise.com.

NASA's Spitzer Spots a Perfectly Sideways Galaxy
Galaxy NGC 5866 lies 44 million light-years from Earth and has a diameter of roughly 60,000 light-years — a little more than half the diameter of our own Milky Way galaxy. From our viewpoint, NGC 5866 is oriented almost exactly edge-on, yielding most of its structural features invisible.
