2024年9月12日 · Famously known as the Lagoon Nebula, Messier 8 shines by the ionizing ultraviolet radiation of its embedded young stars. A portion of the open cluster NGC 6530 appears as a roiling wall of smoke studded with stars in this …

The Lagoon Nebula (catalogued as Messier 8 or M8, NGC 6523, Sharpless 25, RCW 146, and Gum 72) is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and has an H II region.

2010年10月15日 · Also known as M8, the nebula is a star-forming region in the constellation Sagittarius. Hubble's remarkably sharp, close-up view reveals undulating shapes sculpted by the energetic light and winds from the region's new born stars. Of course, the Lagoon Nebula is a popular target for earthbound skygazers, too. Image Credit: NASA

The Hubble Space Telescope image on the front of this lithograph shows the heart of the Lagoon Nebula (M8), an example of a turbulent stellar nursery. This region has been producing new stars for millions of years. The young stars seen in this image represent the current wave of star birth.

2015年2月20日 · Messier 8 (M8), also known as the Lagoon Nebula, is a large, bright emission nebula located in the constellation Sagittarius. The star-forming nebula has an apparent magnitude of 6.0 and lies at a distance of 4,100 light years from Earth. It has the designation NGC 6523 in the New General Catalogue.

The Lagoon Nebula resides about 4,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius. This image celebrates the Hubble Space Telescope’s 28th anniversary.

This star-forming cloud of interstellar gas is located in the constellation Sagittarius and its apparent magnitude of 6 makes it faintly visible to the naked eye in dark skies. The best time to observe M8 is during August. Located 5,200 light-years from Earth, M8 is home to its own star cluster: NGC 6530 (ee annotated image below).
