Summary

Description
Deutsch: Diese neue Infrarotaufnahme der Sternentstehungsregion Messier 8, auch bekannt als Lagunennebel, wurde am VISTA-Durchmusterungsteleskop am Paranal-Observatorium der ESO in Chile gewonnen. Es handelt sich um eine Falschfarbendarstellung aus Einzelaufnahmen, die durch drei verschiedene Filter im Nahinfraroten (J, H und Ks) im Rahmen einer großen Durchmusterung des Zentralbereichs der Milchstraße entstanden sind. Das Gesichtsfeld beträgt etwa 34 x 15 Bogenminuten.
English: This new infrared view of the star formation region Messier 8, often called the Lagoon Nebula, was captured by the VISTA telescope at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile. This colour picture was created from images taken through J, H and Ks near-infrared filters, and which were acquired as part of a huge survey of the central parts of the Milky Way. The field of view is about 34 by 15 arcminutes.
