Zooming in on Star Forming Cloud RCW 34 | ESO

Zooming in on Star Forming Cloud RCW 34 | ESO

This video sequence takes the viewer from a broad view of the southern skies deep into the constellation of Vela (The Sails). Many glowing gas clouds are seen, including some of the strange blue filaments of the Vela supernova remnant. The final image shows the star forming cloud RCW 34 in a very detailed new image from the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile.


Distance: about 10,000 light years
