Image Description and Details: Located in the Eagle constellation. This is on the bottom left SH2-72, 5800 light year away. Near shé-72, the little SH2-71 is also visible.
SH2-71 and SH2-72 are distinct emission nebulae found in the Milky Way's Sagittarius arm. SH2-71, also known as Gum 48, resides in Scutum and houses a cluster of young, hot stars that energize the surrounding gas, resulting in intricate structures shaped by their interplay. SH2-72, the Omega Nebula or Messier 17, in Sagittarius, showcases its iconic "omega" shape and serves as a fertile ground for star formation, revealing insights into the processes governing the birth of stars and their interaction with their cosmic surroundings.
