Night sky and the Lagoon Nebula. A ground-based view of the night sky zooms into the Milky Way to the Lagoon Nebula, (M8) imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. This is an emission nebula, a huge cloud of gas and dust that glows as the hydrogen it contains is ionised by radiation from the hot young stars that have formed within it. The Lagoon Nebula lies around 5000 light years from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius. | |
