Amazingly beautiful. 15,000 LY is actually pretty close for a globbie. Back in the day when I had ideas of being an astrophysicist, I remember looking at one that was something like 110,000 LY off, but still gravitationally bound to the MW. I wonder what the night sky would look like on a planet somewhere near the middle of one of these babies? Pretty glorious, I'd think.

Whoever would sleep near such a thing, probably needs sleeping pills.
