Zooming in on Star-forming Region NGC 3582 in Carina | ESO

Zooming in on Star-forming Region NGC 3582 in Carina | ESO

This sequence starts with a wide-field view of the most spectacular parts of the southern Milky Way. As we zoom in we see the Southern Cross (Crux) and the famous Eta Carinae nebula. A little later we close in on the star-forming region NGC 3582, lying about 10,000 light-years from us in the constellation of Carina (The Keel). The final detailed view shows a new image of NGC 3582 and its surroundings from the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope at the European Southern Observatory’s La Silla Observatory in Chile.
