TL;DR Summary

The European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope captured an infrared image of Sagittarius C, a star-forming region at the center of the Milky Way, revealing a densely packed population of stars. This region, located near the galactic center, is believed to be a prolific stellar nursery, with evidence suggesting the presence of many more young stars than currently observed. The VLT data indicates that Sagittarius C is rich in young stars, making it a promising candidate for hosting newly formed stars and providing astronomers with new regions to search for obscured young stars.
