This animation compares the appearance of the Serpens Nebula as seen from the ground—with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory, and from space—with the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope. Both observatories used detectors and filters observing in the near-infrared to gather their data.
Distance: 1,300 light years
