The Lagoon Nebula, M8 // RobDSJ
Here, the Lagoon Nebula is being displayed in the "SHO palette." This is the palette commonly used by the Hubble Space Telescope in its images, where you map the light produced by three elements, sulfur (S), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) to three colors, red, green, and blue.
The Lagoon Nebula has a cluster at the center responsible for ionizing the gas that is only about 2 million years old. The gas stretches across the sky a length equivalent to about 3 full moons.

The Lagoon Nebula, M8 // John Dziuba
Zoomed-in, now you can see some of the concentrations of interstellar dust at the heart of the Lagoon Nebula. The darkest and densest parts are called Bok globules where new stars are being formed. These globules are on average 10,000 astronomical units* in diameter.
*An astronomical unit is the distance between the Earth and the Sun, or about 93 million miles.
