Optical image of nebulae in the constellation of Sagittarius. At bottom right is NGC 6559,a pink glowing cloud of hydrogen gas lit up by nearby young,hot stars. At centre is IC 1274-1275,a complex of ionised hydrogen clouds with a blue rim of dust reflecting the ultraviolet radiation of hot stars. The field is marked by dark dust clouds & distant old yellow stars which lie towards the galactic centre. The image was made by super- imposing 3 photos taken at different wavelengths using the UK Schmidt Telescope in Australia | |
