A galaxy far, far away… — A handout photo released on September 23, 2013 by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) shows the star formation region NGC 6334, one of the first scientific images from the ArTeMiS instrument on APEX. The picture shows the glow detected at a wavelength of 0.35 millimeters coming from dense clouds of interstellar dust grains. The new observations from ArTeMiS show up in orange and have been superimposed on a view of the same region taken in near-infrared light by ESOs VISTA telescope at Paranal.
