How amazing the Milky Way galaxy would look to inhabitants living on a planet orbiting a star in this or any other globular cluster!!!
You wouldn't know where to point your telescope!!!

First - superb image Luiz. congratulations!
I recall reading a long time ago that from the core of omega Cen or most globular's, the sky would appear in perpetual twilight and if we lived there, we'd have no way of seeing very far in the optical. Likewise, if earth were in the centre of the mIlky way, instead of the edge we'd have little knowledge of the existence of other galaxies in visual wavelengths which in turn might retard the development of telescopes that look outside the visible spectrum - radio,UV, IR, gamma, x-ray etc. All those stars would also create a lot of noise in other wavelengths.
