| Description |
English: This image from ESO’s VISTA telescope captures a celestial landscape of vast, glowing clouds of gas and tendrils of dust surrounding hot young stars. This infrared view reveals the stellar nursery known as NGC 6357 in a new light. It was taken as part of the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) survey, which is currently scanning the Milky Way in a bid to map our galaxy’s structure and explain how it formed. Русский: На новом снимке, полученном в ESO с телескопом VISTA – светящиеся газовые облака и пылевые волокна вокруг молодых горячих звезд. Это инфракрасное изображение, в необычном свете показывающее звездные «ясли» NGC 6357, получено в ходе выполняемого сейчас с телескопом VISTA сканирования Млечного Пути с целью построения подробной структурной карты нашей Галактики, которая поможет понять, как сформировалась наша звездная система. |
