A handout photo made available by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) on 27 July 2017 shows the Orion Nebula and its associated cluster of young stars in great detail, captured by the OmegaCAM – the wide-field optical camera on ESO's VLT Survey Telescope (VST). This famous object, the birthplace of many massive stars, is one of the closest stellar nurseries, at a distance of about 1350 light-years. (Photo by G. Beccari/EPA/ESO)
