| The first released VST image shows the spectacular star-forming region Messier 17, also known as the Omega Nebula or the Swan Nebula, as it has never been seen before. This vast region of gas, dust and hot young stars lies in the heart of the Milky Way in the constellation of Sagittarius (The Archer).

The VLT Survey Telescope (VST) is the latest addition to the European Southern Observatory's network of telescopes at Paranal in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. The first image released from the VST shows the spectacular star-forming region Messier 17, also known as the Omega nebula or the Swan nebula, as it has never been seen before.
This nebula, full of gas, dust and hot young stars, lies in the heart of our Milky Way galaxy, in the constellation of Sagittarius (The Archer). The VST's field of view is so large that is able to observe the entire nebula, including its fainter outer parts. [See the first VLT Survey Telescope photos]

I found this to be very exciting and interesting to what is going on in space and on earth. These are speacial times for we could be the generation that will see what we have all known for years & could all be linked to things going on on this planet. We have the first United States President that will let our space travel stop, this is not only irresponsible we will be sorry to such a thing our technology advances will not be as quick. We should be looking and moving forward in our space travel. Looking for new and better ways to get back and forth faster, safer, better space program. As we all know they may have stopped NASA but not the Black OPS programs involving anything the US in moving forward.
