M8 – Hubble celebrates anniversary in style with stunning view of Lagoon Nebula
These Hubble images provide two diverse views of the heart of the Lagoon Nebula. A visible-light image at left shows the billowing clouds of gas and curtains of dust from which new stars are forming. A near-infrared view at right penetrates these clouds to uncover stars hidden within and behind the nebula.
