The Orion Nebula: Panning across a deep infrared image | ESO Support us at FriendsofNASA.org: This video gives a close-up view of a spectacular new image of the Orion Nebula star-formation region that was obtained from multiple exposures using the HAWK-I infrared camera on ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile. This is one of the deepest views ever of this region and it revealed many more very faint planetary-mass objects than expected. Credits: European Southern Observatory (ESO)/H. Drass et al.
