ESO Science Release eso1128 - VISTA Finds 96 Star Clusters infrared survey
telescope digs deep into star-forming regions in our Milky Way
For your convenience the first paragraph of the release is provided below:
Using data from the VISTA infrared survey telescope at ESO’s Paranal
Observatory, an international team of astronomers has discovered 96 new open
star clusters hidden by the dust in the Milky Way. These tiny and faint objects
were invisible to previous surveys, but they could not escape the sensitive
infrared detectors of the world’s largest survey telescope, which can peer
through the dust. This is the first time so many faint and small clusters have
been found at once.
