Description

M20 is a famous star-forming region in the northeast of the constellation Sagittarius. This DSO is an unusual combination of an open star cluster, an emission nebula (pink-red region), a reflective nebula (bluish region), and a dark nebula (the apparent gaps in the emission nebula). The center of the nebula is estimated to be 4100 light years from Earth.
