Thanks for the link. I am well aware of the scientific papers underlying this NASA announcement about the high amount of blue Stragglers in NGC 6362. Actually, these sometimes high rates of so-called "blue Stragglers" are already implemented in my globular cluster code for celestia.Sci.

Here are two screenshots of NGC 6362 in celestia.Sci:

1) From a far distance: one can see already the high amount of (young) blue globular stars

lots of (young) blue Stragglers:
