Garching (Bavaria) – Hach, are the cute: Astronomers have taken a look at a star-nursery! With the Very Large Telescope (VLT), the researchers succeeded in recording the sharpest yet of so-called shrimp nebula in the constellation Scorpio.
The picture was published on Wednesday by the European Southern Observatory (ESO). The bright reddish star-swarm is located about 6000 light years from Earth and has a diameter of 250 light years. The new ultra-sharp image shows clusters of newborn stars embedded in the clouds that make up the fog. It is a vast region, filled with gas and dark dust clumps.

The fog is also known as Gum 56, named after the Australian astronomer Colin Gum. The sky it takes approximately the area of ??four full moons. Its peculiar shape and reddish color earned him the nickname shrimp fog. The official name is more reminiscent of a commuter train of Deutsche Bahn. IC 4628

The positions of stars and other celestial objects can be determined very accurately in the Chilean Atacama Desert with the VLT of the Paranal Observatory. The four main telescopes have a mirror diameter of 8.2 meters each, so that observations in the infrared and visible light are possible.

These gas clouds are the delivery room of the universe, here constantly shining bright, hot young stars are born. In the visible range of light these stars appear in a bluish-white color.
but also send out intense radiation in other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum – especially in the ultraviolet. And exactly this star-light leaves the gas clouds glow red
