Stars and Dust of the Lagoon Nebula
The large Lagoon Nebula is home to many young stars and hot gas. Spanning 100 light-years across and lying about 5,000 light-years distant, the Lagoon Nebula is so big and bright that it can be seen without a telescope toward the constellation of Sagittarius. Many bright stars are visible from NGC 6530, an open cluster that formed in the nebula only several million years ago. The greater nebula, also known as M8, is named "Lagoon" for the band of dust seen to the right of the star cluster.
