Its distance from populated areas means that light pollution is essentially non-existent

The bright smudges are dusty cocoons containing massive embryonic stars

WISE's infrared detectors can peer into the cloud to see the glow of the dust itself

The blast from the supernova sent out shock waves that traveled through space

The new observations, shown in white and pink tones, have been superimposed to an image of the same region taken in near infrared light by ESOs VISTA telescope at Paranal. CONCERTO is able to scan the sky at frequencies between infrared and radio waves and has been
