Composite Messier 20 and 21
The Trifid Nebula, also known as Messier 20, lies about 5,000 light-years away and is a colorful study in cosmic contrasts. It shares this nearly 1 degree wide field with the open star cluster Messier 21. Trisected by dust lanes, the Trifid itself is about 40 light-years across and a mere 300,000 years old. That makes it one of the youngest star-forming regions in our sky, with newborn and embryonic stars embedded in its natal dust and gas clouds.
