Hundreds of thousands of stars are contained in this infrared image of Sagittarius C, a region near the center of the Milky Way, taken with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope.A new view from the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope captures the abundant star-forming region at the center of the Milky Way. , located in Chile's Atacama Desert, snapped an infrared image of a region called Sagittarius C , which is located about 300 light-years from the.
"The center of the Milky Way is the most prolific star-forming region in the entire galaxy," ESO officials said inreleasing the new image on Feb. 12."However, astronomers have only found a fraction of the young stars they expected here." born are believed to be located in this region, which is a prolific stellar nursery. However, clouds of dust and gas block the starlight and obscure our view, according to the statement.
"There is 'fossil' evidence that many more stars were born in the recent past than the ones we actually see," ESO officials said in the statement."This is because looking towards the center of the Using the HAWK-I infrared camera on the VLT, astronomers were able to peer through these clouds to see the densely packed star population of Sgr C. The VLT data revealed a chemical composition that suggests this region of thein the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, found that Sgr C was much richer in young stars than other areas near the galactic center. This will help astronomers identify new regions in which to look for other obscured young stars, according to the statement.

Reflective multi-immersion microscope objectives inspired by the Schmidt telescopeImaging large, cleared samples requires microscope objectives that combine a large field of view (FOV) with a long working distance (WD) and a high numerical aperture (NA). Ideally, such objectives should be compatible with a wide range of immersion media, which is challenging to achieve with conventional lens-based objective designs.
