This is a close up picture of the lagoon nebula. This nebula spans 3 lightyears, and is also known as M8. It is located in the constellation Sagittarius. This nebula is especially interesting to me because it is one of the M objects I have been writing down on my constellation quizzes in class, but i never knew what the M object was I was writing down. In this region of the lagoon nebula, it is possible to see the high speed winds created by the formation of new stars.
