Panning across the rich region around the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Glowing brightly about 160 000 light-years away, the Tarantula Nebula is the most spectacular feature of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy to our Milky Way. This video sequence takes a close look at a new image from the VLT Survey Telescope at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile. It reveals a cosmic landscape of star clusters, glowing gas clouds and the scattered remains of supernova explosions.
