Not exact matches
The young open cluster NGC 6530 associated with the Lagoon Nebula M8 was classified as of Trumpler type «II 2 m n» (
see e.g. the Sky Catalog 2000), meaning that it is detached but only weakly concentrated toward its center, its stars scatter in a moderate range of brightness, it is moderately rich (50 — 100 stars), and associated with
nebulosity (certainly, with the Lagoon nebula).
However, clearly visible in this image are
nebulosities above and below the plane of the disk; these betray the presence of the otherwise invisible central star, which can not be
seen directly due to dust in the edge - on disk.
Throughout this image can be
seen cavities and flow patterns in the
nebulosity, giving clues to the structure and dynamics of this active star forming region.
