Zooming to Star Cluster NGC 6193 & Nebula NGC 6188 | ESO

This zoom sequence zeros in on a region of gas and dust in the constellation of Ara. In the center of the final image from the VLT Survey Telescope at the European Southern Observatory’s Paranal Observatory is the young open cluster NGC 6193, and to the right is the emission nebula NGC 6188, illuminated by the ionizing radiation emitted by the brightest nearby stars.
