Panning across a deep infrared image of the Orion Nebula

This video gives a close-up view of a spectacular new image of the Orion Nebula star-formation region that was obtained from multiple exposures using the HAWK-I infrared camera on ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile. This is the deepest view ever of this region and reveals many more very faint planetary-mass objects than expected. More information and download options: Credit: ESO/H. Drass et al. Music: Johan B.
