This video zooms in on a collection of pillars along the edge of the star-forming region NGC 2174. The sequence begins with a view of the night sky near the constellation of Gemini and Orion. It then zooms through observations from the Digitized Sky Survey 2, and ends with a view of NGC 2174 obtained by Hubble.
