The Prawn Nebula: A Close-up Look | ESO

This pan video takes a closer look at some of the strange and spectacular features in the glowing jumble of gas clouds making up a huge stellar nursery nicknamed the Prawn Nebula. Taken using the VLT Survey Telescope at European Southern Observatory’s Paranal Observatory in Chile, this may well be the sharpest picture ever taken of this object.
