M8: The Lagoon Nebula is an enormous cloud of gas in continual process of birthing stars. An open cluster of stars has already been born from the nebula and was discovered before the fainter nebula by Flamsteed in 1680. This nebula is estimated to be 140 light years (~812 trillion miles) in diameter at its widest. LRGB image (15-120 sec exposures L; 10-60sec exposures RGB) |
