<B> Explanation: </B>
This beautiful cosmic cloud is a popular stop on telescopic tours of
the constellation
<A href="http://www.hawastsoc.org/deepsky/sgr/index.html">Sagittarius</A>.
Eighteenth century cosmic tourist
<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Messier">Charles Messier</A> cataloged the bright
<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messier_8">nebula as M8</A>, while
modern day astronomers recognize the 
<A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/apod/apod_search?Lagoon">Lagoon Nebula</A> 
as an active stellar nursery about 5,000 light-years distant, in the direction
of <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990911.html">the center</A> of our Milky Way Galaxy.
Striking details can be traced through 
<A href="http://fredsastro.googlepages.com/home">this remarkable picture</A>,
processed to remove stars and hence better reveal the Lagoon's range of
filaments of glowing <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap051223.html">hydrogen gas</A>, 
dark dust clouds, and the bright, turbulent <A href="http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/newsdesk/archive/releases/1996/38/">hourglass</A> region near the image center.
This color composite view was recorded under dark skies near 
<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney">Sydney</A>, 
<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia">Australia</A>.
At the Lagoon's estimated distance, the picture
<A href="http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/scale_distance.html">spans</A>
about 50 light-years.
