March - The Sh2-54 nebula in the infrared with VISTA

This image of the spectacular Sh2-54 nebula was taken in infrared light using ESO’s VISTA telescope at Paranal Observatory in Chile. The clouds of dust and gas that are normally obvious in visible light are less evident here in the infrared, and we can now see the light of the stars behind the nebulae piercing through.
