The Large Sagittarius Star Cloud is the brightest visible region of the Milky Way galaxy, a portion of the central bulge seen around the thick dust of the Great Rift which lines the northwest edge. It should not be confused with the nearby Small Sagittarius Star Cloud , which lies about 10° to the north. [ 1 ]
HD 166191 is a young late-F or early G-type star in the constellation Sagittarius. It is surrounded by a large amount of dust. [2] [6] In 2019 it was reported in the Astronomer's Telegram that the star had brightened in the infrared, as was seen from Spitzer observations. [7] A study was published in 2022, reporting on the result of a follow-up ...
Both features are viewed against the dense stary background of the Large Sagittarius Star Cloud. [6] This cluster is located at a distance of approximately 5,235 ly from the Sun. [1] This is a young open cluster of stars with age estimates yielding a values of 150 to 190 million years. [3]
Messier 22 or M22, also known as NGC 6656 or the Great Sagittarius Cluster, is an elliptical globular cluster of stars in the constellation Sagittarius, near the Galactic bulge region. It is one of the brightest globulars visible in the night sky.
Sagittarius contains two well-known star clouds, both considered fine binocular objects. The Large Sagittarius Star Cloud is the brightest visible region of the Milky Way. It is a portion of the central bulge of the galaxy seen around the thick dust of the Great Rift , and is the innermost galactic structure that can be observed in visible ...
NGC 6530 is a young [8] open cluster of stars in the southern constellation of Sagittarius, located some 4,300 light years from the Sun. [3] It exists within the H II region known as the Lagoon Nebula, or Messier 8, [9] and spans an angular diameter of 14.0′. [5]
