Star Factory Messier 17
Messier 17, also known as the Omega Nebula, is a star-forming region located about 5,500 light-years away in Sagittarius. Stellar winds and radiation from hot, massive stars have sculpted its gas and dust clouds. This composite image from space and ground-based telescopes spans nearly 100 light-years, revealing intricate details against the backdrop of the Milky Way.
