ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) has delivered amazing imagery of nearby stellar nurseries.

This data provides insights into the complex chemistry occurring in these stellar nurseries, including the presence of ice, organic molecules, and dust, connecting the formation of stars to the ...

Glimpse Into the Orion Nebula The Hubble Space Telescope’s latest Picture of the Week offers a stunning glimpse into the ...

This towering structure in the Eagle Nebula is a 9.5 light-year-high column of gas and dust from a stellar nursery. This image shows N90, where bright young stars carve a cavity, with distant ...

Astronomers will use this data to answer big questions about the origins of galaxies and the distribution of water and organic molecules in stellar nurseries – where stars are born from gas and ...

Objectives: Map 450 million galaxies in 102 infrared colors. Trace the presence of water and organic molecules in stellar nurseries, contributing to our understanding of the universe’s formation.

Astronomers will use this data to answer big questions about the origins of galaxies and the distribution of water and organic molecules in stellar nurseries– where stars are born from gas and dust.

The mission will search the universe for signs of water and organic molecules – the ingredients of life – at disks around stars where new planets could be forming and in stellar nurseries.
