泻湖星云的中心是壮观的恒星形成旋风。在图像中心附近，至少可以看到两个长长的漏斗状云，每个大约有半光年长，是由极端的恒星风和强烈的高能星光形成的。附近一颗非常明亮的恒星赫歇尔36照亮了这片区域。巨大的尘埃墙掩盖了其他炙热的年轻恒星并使其变红。当来自这些恒星的能量涌入冷却的尘埃和气体时，相邻区域的巨大温差会产生剪切风，这可能会导致漏斗。这张照片的跨度约为10光年，由哈勃太空望远镜拍摄的六种颜色的图像组合而成。泻湖星云，也被称为M8，距离射手座（人马座）约5000光年。几乎超空间：随机APOD生成器

The center of the Lagoon Nebula is a whirlwind of spectacular star formation. Visible near the image center, at least two long funnel-shaped clouds, each roughly half a light-year long, have been formed by extreme stellar winds and intense energetic starlight. A tremendously bright nearby star, Herschel 36, lights the area. Vast walls of dust hide and redden other hot young stars. As energy from these stars pours into the cool dust and gas, large temperature differences in adjoining regions can be created generating shearing winds which may cause the funnels. This picture, spanning about 10 light years, combines images taken in six colors by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope. The Lagoon Nebula, also known as M8, lies about 5000 light years distant toward the constellation of the Archer (Sagittarius). Almost hyperspace: Random APOD Generator
