Nebula encasing RCW 38 (credit:ESO/VVVX survey) Our modern, highly efficient cameras and massive telescopes allow us to not only do massive surveys, they also allow us to see specific objects in previously unimagined detail. The 4-m Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope, or VISTA, in Chile recently completed a highly detailed mosaic of the RCW 38 star forming region. Just 5500 light years away, this system is less than a million years old. By studying its 2000 young stars, we can gain new insights into how stars and their surrounding solar systems form.  With even larger telescopes, we...
