For the past 60 years the European Southern Observatory (ESO) has been enabling scientists worldwide to discover the secrets of the universe. We mark this milestone by bringing you a spectacular new image of a star factory, the Cone Nebula, taken with ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT).
On October 5, 1962, five countries signed the convention to create ESO. Now, six decades later and supported by 16 Member States and strategic partners, ESO brings together scientists and engineers from across the globe to develop and operate advanced ground-based observatories in Chile that enable breakthrough astronomical discoveries.

In the sky, we find this horn-shapedLocated less than 2,500 light-years away, the Cone Nebula is relatively close to Earth, making it a well-studied object.
