Wallpaper Description:

This amazing image of the star formation region NGC 6334 is one of the first scientific images from the ArTeMiS instrument on APEX. The picture shows the glow detected at a wavelength of 0.35 millimetres coming from dense clouds of interstellar dust grains. The new observations from ArTeMiS show up in orange and ave been superimposed on a view of the same region taken in near-infrared light by ESO's VISTA telescope at Paranal.
