Hubble snaps sharp image of cosmic concoction

This zoom sequence begins with a very wide-field view of the southern sky including the spectacular Milky Way. We gradually close in on the stellar nursery NGC 2467 and as the zoom finishes the full majesty of this complex region of gas, dust and young stars is revealed in a very detailed picture from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
