This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of the Trifid Nebula reveals a stellar nursery being torn apart by radiation from a nearby, massive star. The picture also provides a peek at embryonic stars forming within an ill-fated cloud of dust and gas, which is destined to be eaten away by the glare from the massive neighbor. This stellar activity is a beautiful example of how the life cycles of stars like our Sun is intimately connected with their more powerful siblings.

This small extract from the VISTA VVV survey of the central parts of the Milky Way shows the famous Trifid Nebula to the right of centre. It appears as faint and ghostly at these infrared wavelengths when compared to the familiar view at visible wavelengths. This transparency has brought its own benefits — many previously hidden background objects can now be seen clearly. Among these are two newly discovered Cepheid variable stars, the first ever spotted on the far side of the galaxy near its central plane.

Hubble (2004-06-03) M 20, Messier 20, NGC 6514, Trifid Nebula 04 (Hubble) - New Hubble image reveals details in the heart of the Trifid Nebula
Nebulosa da Lagoa M8 e Nebulosa Trífida M20. Objetos bastante brilhantes e que escolhi para iniciar minhas experiências com captura RGB e Ha. De quebra pude observar outros objetos estelares que com certeza irei capturar com uma distância focal maior para trazer mais detalhes! Captura foi feita em julho de 2025 na Chapada dos Veadeiros.
Lagoon Nebula M8 and Trifid Nebula M20. Both are very bright deep-sky objects, and I chose them to begin my experiments with RGB and H-alpha capture. As a bonus, I spotted other stellar objects in the field that I definitely plan to revisit with a longer focal length to reveal more detail! Captured in July 2025 at Chapada dos Veadeiros, Brazil.

Messier 20 (Trifid Nebula) captured using the 1.8-metre PS1 telescope that operates the Pan-STARRS survey. The red is using the r (Red) filter, the blue is using the g (Green) filter, and the green is a synthetic combination of r and g. The colors are coded to look more "natural" to the visible light.
