Using a giant telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, is a dream for most sky fans. A Canadian amateur astronomy group seized a unique opportunity and used one of the world's largest telescopes, the 8-meter Gemini Telescope, to take a deeper look at the remains of a stellar nursery that no one had ever observed. This object is a classic and one of the earliest known examples of this type of young star, and this image is the deepest and.....
