Location of Young Star 177-341 W in Orion Nebula | Hubble & VLT Views
The young stellar object 177-341 W, as seen with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT, top inset) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST, bottom inset). This object is located in the Orion Nebula, shown here in the background as seen with the VLT Survey telescope. The VLT’s adaptive optics facility corrects the blur caused by atmospheric turbulence. The VLT image is the sharpest ever taken of this object. It appears in a new paper led by Mari-Liis Aru (ESO) presenting MUSE observations of many proplyds in Orion. It will help astronomers understand how stars and planetary systems form in these stellar nurseries.
