Twistin' by the Lagoon
The Lagoon Nebula, M8, is a star-forming region in Sagittarius. This close-up shows two funnel-shaped clouds, each about half a light-year long, carved by intense stellar winds and radiation from young stars. These structures are found within the bright area of the Lagoon known as the 'Hour Glass'.
