Der er farver på, og masser af havgus i denne smukke samling af himmelobjekter, som har fået navnet Havmågetågen - fordi den ligner en måge i flugt. Området består af støv, hydrogen, helium og spor af tungere grundstoffer, og der er fuld tryk på stjernedannelsen også. De mange detaljer, som er med på billedet her er fanget af ESOs VLT Survey Telescope (VST) viser de enkelte astronomiske objekter, som tilsammen udgøre den kosmiske pipfugl i fine detaljer. VST er for tiden et af de største oversigtsteleskoper i Verden, med arbejdsområde i det synlige lys.
