      Explanation: 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).
