M8 nebular complex
The Lagoon Nebula M8 is a diffuse nebula in the constellation of Sagittarius. It is one of the brightest regions of the sky and is visible even with the naked eye in fairly clear and dark skies.
One of the main features of the Lagoon Nebula is the presence of small black spots known as Bok globules, which are protostellar clouds.
The brightest region of the nebula, in the center of the Lagoon, is known as the Hourglass Nebula and is a region of intense star formation.
The Trifid Nebula M20 on the right is a well-known star-forming region and is made up of three different types of cosmic clouds: reddish emission nebulae, blue reflection nebulae (produced by dust that reflects starlight), and dark nebulae, including the central one divided into three dense bands of dust, hence the name Trifid.
NGC 6559 on the left has both red emission regions and bluish reflections
