Star cluster NGC 6520 and dark nebula Barnard 86 within the Large Sagittarius Star Cloud. Superimposed upon the Large Sagittarius Star Cloud is the bright open cluster NGC 6520. Close by to the west is the small dark nebula Barnard 86, a Bok globule described by Edward Emerson Barnard as “a drop of ink on the luminous sky”.
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 ...
NGC 6520 is an open cluster of stars in the southern constellation of Sagittarius, [5] about 4° to the east of the Galactic Center. [3] With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.6 and an angular size of 6.0′, it can be viewed with binoculars or a small telescope. Just to the west of this cluster is the dark nebula Barnard 86, dubbed the Ink ...
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 wavelengths.
Sagittarius A*, abbreviated as Sgr A* (/ ˈ s æ dʒ ˈ eɪ s t ɑːr / SADGE-AY-star [3]), is the supermassive black hole [4] [5] [6] at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way.Viewed from Earth, it is located near the border of the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius, about 5.6° south of the ecliptic, [7] visually close to the Butterfly Cluster (M6) and Lambda Scorpii.
Baade's Window on the Milky Way. Baade's Window is an area of the sky with relatively low amounts of interstellar dust along the line of sight from Earth.This area is considered an observational "window" as the normally obscured Galactic Center of the Milky Way is visible in this direction.

The Great Rift covers one third of the Milky Way, and is flanked by strips of numerous stars, such as the Cygnus Star Cloud. [2] West of the Cepheus Clouds, the Funnel cloud/Le Gentil 3 and the bordering North America Nebula, the Great Rift starts with the Northern Coalsack at the constellation of Cygnus, where it is known as the Cygnus Rift.
