In the Center of the Lagoon Nebula

COSMIC MESSAGE

The center of the Lagoon Nebula is a region of active star formation. Intense stellar winds and energetic starlight from a tremendously bright star, Herschel 36, sculpt the gas and dust. This creates long, funnel-shaped clouds, each about half a light-year long.
