The Lagoon nebula is one of the largest culminations of stars, dust, and gas of many different elements. The lagoon nebula is large enough and close enough to us that it can be seen with the naked eye near Sagittarius. The largest nebula in this cloud is known as "Lagoon" for the large amount of dust to the left of the open clusters center. The bright concentration of gas in the center of the Nebula is known as the Hourglass nebula. Stars are still being formed inside.
