The European Southern Observatory at the Paranal Observatory in Chile (ESO) and NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have reportedly captured an image of the Lobster Nebula, a "cluster of dust and stars located nearly 10,000 light-years from Earth," Science Recorder noted Wednesday.
According to ESO, the image was captured using its Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). The nebula's study is just a small part of a huge survey titled, "VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea."
