"scene": {
"location": "deep space—camera positioned near the inner rim of the galactic bar",

"visual_details": [
"0–2s: Begin on a dust lane slicing across the frame; core is offscreen glow.",
"2–5s: Orbit clockwise ~60°; the blazing core rolls into view, star clusters reveal parallax.",
"5–8s: Glide past a bright HII region; brief natural bloom as the core peaks, then settle."
