Panning Across The Cat's Paw Nebula (2010.04) [720p]

This pan across the European Southern Observatory's VISTA telescope infrared view of the Cat's Paw Nebula (NGC 6334) gives a closer look at many of the details of the nebula, including some of the young, hot stars in a phase of enthusiastic nuclear fusion, without dust to obscure the view.
