The Sagittarius Triplet features three bright nebulae in the direction of our Milky Way's center. M8, the Lagoon Nebula, is above and left of center, while the colorful M20, the Trifid Nebula, is at the lower left. The third, NGC 6559, is to the right of M8, separated by a dark dust lane. All three are stellar nurseries, about 5,000 light-years distant.
