“Blue Lagoon” is copyrighted by Russell Croman. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Lagoon Nebula, M8, is a region where new stars are forming. This engaging image allows you to see the nebula's diffuse emission by removing background and foreground stars. The nebula itself is a glowing gas cloud, and the stars that appear and disappear in the comparison are either within the nebula or simply along our line of sight.
