This image from ESO?s VISTA telescope captures a celestial landscape of vast, glowing clouds of gas and tendrils of dust surrounding hot young stars. This infrared view reveals the stellar nursery known as NGC 6357 in a new light. It was taken as part of the VISTA Variables in the V?a L?ctea (VVV) survey, which is currently scanning the Milky Way in a bid to map our galaxy?s structure and explain how it formed.
