The Lagoon Nebula, M8 // RobDSJ
Here, the Lagoon Nebula is being displayed in the "SHO palette." This is the palette commonly used by the Hubble Space Telescope in its images, where you map the light produced by three elements, sulfur (S), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) to three colors, red, green, and blue.
The Lagoon Nebula has a cluster at the center responsible for ionizing the gas that is only about 2 million years old. The gas stretches across the sky a length equivalent to about 3 full moons.

Do you know? I live in Mexico, that means I live in a country where there is a statistic that says that at least ten women disappear per day and only one of those ten victims will report to the authorities because there is an impunity rate of 95%. We are talking about the fact that there are at least 3,000 missing women per year, and saying women is just a saying because the victims have gotten younger and younger. Nothing assures me that when I leave my house, my mother, my friends, whoever will return home, and what I want to say is… today is March 8, international women's day, and I hope that all my sisters got listened to because believe me it is not easy been a woman in this sick world.
It is not a drawing with a very revolutionary theme, but I wanted to draw something pretty and positive to send good vibes to all the girls in the world! Pink, green and purple, all colors look great on us girls!

The Lagoon Nebula, M8 // John Dziuba
Zoomed-in, now you can see some of the concentrations of interstellar dust at the heart of the Lagoon Nebula. The darkest and densest parts are called Bok globules where new stars are being formed. These globules are on average 10,000 astronomical units* in diameter.
*An astronomical unit is the distance between the Earth and the Sun, or about 93 million miles.

Maybe I've said it before, but I'll be damned if the M8 isn't the best purchase I've made in like, 10+ years.
