ESO — Galactic fireworks: new ESO images reveal stunning features of nearby galaxies — Photo Release eso2110

ESO — Reaching New Heights in Astronomy Subscription preferences | Unsubscribe | View in browser European Southern Observatory ESO News 16 July 2021 16 July 2021 — ESO Photo Release eso2110 Galactic fireworks: new ESO images reveal stunning features of nearby galaxies A team of astronomers has released new observations of nearby galaxies that resemble colourful cosmic fireworks. The images, obtained with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT), show different components of the galaxies in distinct colours, allowing astronomers to pinpoint the locations of young stars and the gas they warm up around them. By combining these new observations with data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which ESO is a partner, the team is helping shed new light on what triggers gas to form stars. The release, images and videos are available on: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2110/ Kind regards, The ESO Department of Communication 16 July 2021   ESO Announcements Let the show begin: APEX's CONCERTO instrument sees first light 6 July 2021: An exciting new instrument, a spectrometer called CONCERTO, has successfully produced its first observations: test images of the Cat's Paw Nebula and the Crab Nebula.
