NGC 346 MIRI Zoom Short #space #short

This zoom-in video shows the relative location of NGC 346 on the sky. It begins with a ground-based photo by the late astrophotographer Akira Fujii. As it zooms into smaller portions of the sky, it fades into an image from the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Vista telescope followed by ESO’s La Silla Observatory. It ends by crossfading into an image of NGC 346 from MIRI (the Mid-Infrared Instrument) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.
