The Milky Way around the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud
A mosaic of the region around the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud and Dark Horse dark nebula complex. The field takes in the Milky Way from the Lagoon Nebula at bottom to the Eagle Nebula at top left. In between from top to bottom are the Swan Nebula (M17), and the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud (M24). Flanking the bright M24 star cloud are the large open clusters M23 (right) and M25 (left). At bottom left is the M22 globular star cluster. The prominent dark nebula at right is the large Pipe Nebula (B78) with the small Snake Nebula (B72) above it. The whole complex is visible to the naked eye as the Dark Horse Nebula

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the Milky Way as it stretches across the night sky, showcasing the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud and Dark Horse dark nebula complex. The mosaic encompasses a vast region, from the Lagoon Nebula at the bottom to the Eagle Nebula at the top left. In between these celestial wonders, we are treated to glimpses of other remarkable formations such as the Swan Nebula (M17) and the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud (M24). The prominent M24 star cloud is flanked by two large open clusters - M23 on its right and M25 on its left. At bottom left, we find ourselves captivated by the mesmerizing sight of the M22 globular star cluster. Adding an element of mystery to this cosmic tableau is the presence of dark nebulae - notably, B78 known as Pipe Nebula with B72 or Snake Nebula above it. Visible even without a telescope, this entire complex known as Dark Horse Nebula truly showcases nature's artistic prowess in creating stunning interstellar clouds and cosmic dust formations. As our gaze extends further into deep space, we are reminded of our infinitesimal place within this majestic universe. Alan Dyer's expert astrophotography has beautifully captured this scene in all its luminous glory. This color image invites us to contemplate both our own insignificance and yet our profound connection to something far greater than ourselves – a reminder that there is still much more waiting for us beyond what meets our eyes here on Earth.
