Journey to The Chamaeleon Infrared Nebula | NOIRLab
This video zooms in to the Chamaeleon Infrared Nebula, located in the constellation Chamaeleon.
This ethereal image, captured from Chile by the international Gemini Observatory, a Program of the National Science Foundation's NOIRLab, looks as delicate as a butterfly’s wing. It is, however, a structure known as the Chamaeleon Infrared Nebula. It is located near the center of the even larger Chamaeleon I dark cloud—one of the nearest star-forming regions in our Milky Way galaxy.
