SPACE-SEAGULL-NEBULA
EMBARGOED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 26, 2012, 12:00 CEST
A handout image released on September 24, 2012 by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) from ESO’s La Silla Observatory shows part of a stellar nursery, nicknamed the Seagull Nebula. This cloud of gas, known as Sh 2-292, RCW 2 and Gum 1, seems to form the head of the seagull and glows brightly due to the energetic radiation from a very hot young star lurking at its heart. The detailed view was produced by the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope.
