Zooming into the Sh2-284 nebula
This video takes us on a journey into the Sh2-284 nebula, some 15 000 light-years away from Earth. Here, in vast clouds of gas and dust, new stars are being born. Meanwhile, giant pillars, light-years across, are formed as winds from the young stars batter the surrounding material.
