The European Southern Observatory used its VLT Survey Telescope at Paranal Observatory in Chile to capture the image of the Lagoon Nebula in rich detail.
This is part of the The VST/OmegaCam Photometric Hα Survey (VPHAS+) which is one of three imaging surveys that use visible light with the VST. These are complemented by six infrared surveys with the VISTA survey telescope. There are also two other surveys that have distinct objectives; The Gaia-ESO Survey and the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO). The Gaia-ESO Survey uses the VLT to map the properties of more than 100 000 stars in the Milky Way. PESSTO is studying transient objects such as supernovas with the New Technology Telescope at La Silla.
This zoom takes the viewer from a wide view of the central parts of the Milky Way deep into a detailed new picture of the Messier 8 star formation region — the Lagoon Nebula — from the VLT Survey Telescope at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile.
