Trifid and Lagoon Nebulae Art Print
The Trifid and Lagoon Nebulae glow together in this view captured by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. Roughly 4,000 and 5,000 light-years from Earth, these neighboring clouds of gas and dust offer a vivid glimpse of star-forming space.
Above, the Trifid Nebula (Messier 20) in Sagittarius brings together a pink emission region, blue reflection light, and dark dust lanes that divide its bright cloud into three parts, the source of its name. Below it, the Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8) is another stellar nursery, where young, massive stars illuminate and shape the surrounding gas. The contrasting colors and intricate clouds make this early Rubin Observatory image a striking archival quality art print.
