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 ...
Brighter regions around the band appear as soft visual patches known as star clouds. The most conspicuous of these is the Large Sagittarius Star Cloud, a portion of the central bulge of the galaxy. [65] Dark regions within the band, such as the Great Rift and the Coalsack, are areas where interstellar dust blocks light from distant stars.
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 ...

The cloud is only 25 light-years from Sagittarius A*. It likely hosts an intermediate-mass black hole with a mass of 32,000 times that of the Sun . [ 1 ] HCN-0.009-0.044 has a diameter of about 3 light years, and has relative gas movements of 40 km/s, with a kinematic energy of over 10 47 ergs.
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]
The Bayer designation Chi Sagittarii (χ Sagittarii) is shared by three star systems in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. The brightest of these, χ 1 Sagittarii and χ 3 Sagittarii, are separated by 0.56° on the sky. The dimmer star χ 2 Sagittarii is located between them, 0.10° from χ 1, and is too faint
