A Tour of The Dark Wolf Nebula: SL 17 in Scorpius | ESO


This video takes you on a tour of the Dark Wolf Nebula, captured in a 283-million-pixel image by the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) at the European Southern Observatory’s Paranal Observatory in Chile. Located around 5,300 light-years from Earth, the cold clouds of cosmic dust create the illusion of a wolf-like silhouette against a colorful backdrop of glowing gas clouds.
