The Gum 15 Star Formation Region | ESO

The Gum 15 Star Formation Region | ESO


This richly detailed new view from the MPG/European Southern Observatory 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.
