Captured in both HaOIII (hydrogen-alpha and oxygen-III bands) and RGB (red, green and blue) light, the image features a deep wide field view of Sh2-132 immersed in the glow of ionized hydrogen gas ...

A spectacular new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image reveals the heart of the Lagoon Nebula. Seen as a massive cloud of glowing dust and gas, bombarded by the energetic radiation of new stars ...

The Lagoon Nebula, also known as M8, is a magnificent complex of hot gas and dark nebulosity located 5,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius.

Within the Lagoon Nebula lies the star cluster NGC-6530, made up of a few thousand stars. Young stars twinkle within a rainbow curtain of dust and gas in this new image from NASA’s Hubble Space ...

In those cases, the intense radiation from a quasar illuminated hydrogen gas in the nebula, causing it to emit Lyman-alpha radiation. Prochaska's team discovered the first ELAN, dubbed the "Slug ...

Hubble previously imaged the Lagoon Nebula in one of its most famous photos, which was shared to celebrate the telescope’s 28th anniversary. This image also showed just a part of the full nebula ...

A NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of the Lagoon Nebula, which is about 4,000 light-years away. It was taken by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 in February.

The Trifid Nebula (M20) is the trifecta of deep-sky objects: It combines a blue reflection nebula with an emission nebula glowing in red Hydrogen-alpha (Hα) light, all divvied up by opaque lanes ...

This photo shows the Lion Nebula, also known as Sh2-132, located at about 10,000 light-years away in the Cepheus ...

In recent years astronomers probing the secrets of the Lagoon Nebula have found the first unambiguous proof that star formation by accretion of matter from the gas cloud is ongoing in this region.
