Sagittarius Triplet
The Sagittarius Triplet includes three bright nebulae often seen in telescopic tours of the Milky Way's central region. M8, the Lagoon Nebula, is below and right of center. M20, the colorful Trifid Nebula, is at the upper right. NGC 6559, to the left of M8, is separated by a dark dust lane. All three are stellar nurseries, about five thousand light-years distant.

In tropical astrology, 14 JUN 2006 falls under Gemini (♊). The sign's window runs from 05-21 through 06-20. Gemini is named for the twin stars Castor and Pollux, both bright enough to spot without a telescope. The Sun was crossing this region of the sky on 14 JUN 2006.
