Zooming in Star Formation Region NGC 6559 | ESO

Zooming in Star Formation Region NGC 6559 | ESO

This zoom starts with a broad view of the Milky Way. We head in towards the center, where stars and the pink regions marking star formation nurseries are concentrated. We see the huge gas cloud of the Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8) but finally settle on the smaller nebula NGC 6559. The colorful closing image comes from the Danish 1.54-meter telescope located at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile.
