Panning across The Carina Nebula | European Southern Observatory

Panning across The Carina Nebula | European Southern Observatory

The spectacular star-forming Carina Nebula has been captured in great detail by the VLT Survey Telescope at the European Southern Observatory’s Paranal Observatory. This video sequence shows many of the curious details that are visible in this wide-field picture. 

The image was taken with the help of Sebastián Piñera, President of Chile, during his visit to the observatory on June 5, 2012, and released on the occasion of the telescope’s inauguration in Naples on December 6, 2012.
