M 17 The Omega Nebula SHO CHI-1
Messier 17, also known as the Omega Nebula, is located in the constellation Sagittarius at a distance of between 5,000 and 6,000 light-years from Earth. It's an HII region that's considered one of the brightest and most massive star-forming regions in our galaxy. The open cluster NGC 6618, embedded in the nebulosity, causes the gases to glow due to the radiation from the hot young stars of the cluster.
