Surrounded by clouds of glowing ionized gas and dust, the stars powering this nebula are a tight cluster called the Trapezium. The HAWK-I infrared camera on the European Southern Observatory s Very Large Telescope penetrates the dusty regions of the nebula, exposing many young stars, brown dwarfs and isolated planetary-mass objects. | |
