Description
This richly detailed new view from the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope at the La Silla Observatory in Chile shows a section of the star formation region Gum 15. This little-known object is located in the constellation of Vela (The Sails), some 3000 light-years from Earth. The glowing cloud is a stunning example of an H II region, a star formation containing a large amount of ionized atomic hydrogen.
