M80 (left) and the ρ Ophiuchi Cloud Complex // Dev (Dave) Prana
Interestingly, Messier failed to notice or write down the large star-forming region right next door to M80 on the sky: the ρ Ophiuchi Cloud Complex!
This is a huge star-forming region only 460 light years from Earth with reflection nebulae, emission nebulae, and dark dust clouds. Why Messier didn't feel like he needed to mention this is unknown to me!
