True-colour UK Schmidt image of Trifid Nebula M20
Trifid Nebula. True-colour optical image derived from UK Schmidt plates of the Trifid Nebula (M20, NGC 6514) in the constellation Sagittarius. The red part of the nebula is a glowing cloud of hydrogen gas ionised and lit up by a bright central star. It is crossed by dark lanes of interstellar dust which absorb and scatter the emitted light. It is believed that new stars are forming in M20 especially in the brightest middle region. The blue area is a reflection nebula, a cloud of cooler dust and gas that reflects the light of the bright star in its centre. The Trifid Nebula is about 6500 light years from Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Trifid Nebula M20, captured through a true-colour optical image derived from UK Schmidt plates. Located in the constellation Sagittarius and approximately 6500 light years away from Earth, this celestial wonder never fails to mesmerize astronomers and stargazers alike. The vibrant red hues that dominate the nebula represent a luminous cloud of hydrogen gas, brilliantly illuminated by a central star. However, these crimson tones are interwoven with intricate dark lanes of interstellar dust, which absorb and scatter the emitted light. It is within these dusty corridors that new stars are believed to be forming, particularly in the radiant middle region. Contrasting against this fiery backdrop is an ethereal blue area known as a reflection nebula. Composed of cooler dust and gas particles, it reflects the dazzling light emanating from the bright star at its core. This harmonious blend of colors creates an awe-inspiring spectacle that speaks volumes about our universe's evolution and cosmology. Thanks to advancements in technology such as the UK Schmidt telescope imagery used here, we can now witness these celestial marvels up close. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this momentous scene for all astronomy enthusiasts to appreciate and ponder upon – reminding us once again of our place amidst vast cosmic wonders like Trifid Nebula M20.
