Panning across the Star Formation Region Gum 15 | ESO

This richly detailed pan video from the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope at the La Silla Observatory in Chile shows the star formation region Gum 15. This little-known object is located in the constellation of Vela (The Sails), some 3,000 light-years from Earth. The glowing cloud is a stunning example of an HII region.
