The Orion Nebula’s Cloudy Secrets | ESO

The Orion Nebula’s Cloudy Secrets | ESO

ESOcast 90 Light: This video takes a quick look at a new image of one of the coolest bits of the night sky—the Orion Nebula. By observing in infrared light the VISTA survey telescope at the European Southern Observatory’s Paranal Observatory in Chile can see through the dust and this allowed astronomers to catalogue nearly 800,000 objects in this region, young stars, strange outflows and very distant galaxies.
