Da_Wc_G9ms4 zooming-in-on-the-heart-of-the-milky-way Zooming in on the heart of the Milky Way This zoom video sequence starts with a broad view of the Milky Way. We then dive into the dusty central region to take a much closer look. XU0iPq_7r_E zooming-in-on-the-red-hypergiant-star-vy-canis-majoris Zooming in on the red hypergiant star VY Canis Majoris This video sequence takes you on a voyage from a broad vista of the sky into a close-up look at one of the biggest stars in the Milky Way, VY Canis Majoris. The final image comes from the SPHERE instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile. Ypd1QKp0xKs how-far-away-is-it-09-star-birth-nebula How Far Away Is It | 09 - Star Birth Nebula Planetary nebula, such as NGC 2371, and supernova remnants, such as SN 0509, form when stars die. In this segment of our “How far away is it” video book, we’ll cover the nebula associated with stars being born.
