“The Lagoon Nebula in Stars Dust and Gas” is copyrighted by Remus Chua (Celestial Portraits). 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 large star-forming region in Sagittarius, about 5,000 light-years away. It spans 100 light-years and is visible without a telescope. The open cluster NGC 6530, which formed in the nebula a few million years ago, contains many bright stars. The nebula is named for the dark band of dust that appears to divide it.
