Lagoon Nebula (M8 or NGC 6523) - Space History

Lagoon Nebula (M8 or NGC 6523)


The nebula contains a scattered star cluster and several star-forming regions. The red glow is caused by glowing hydrogen, while the dark fibers are dense streaks of dust. The distance to the object is 5 thousand light years.

The «lagoon» can be seen with binoculars in the constellation Sagittarius. It occupies an area in the sky the size of 3 disks of the Moon.
