This is a image taken by hubble space telescope. This is NGC 6530. NGC 6530 is a cluster of thousands of stars located approximately 4350 light-years from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius. The cluster is part of the larger Lagoon Nebula, which is a massive interstellar cloud of gas and dust. The nebula is responsible for the image's distinct smoky appearance; clouds of interstellar gas and dust stretch from one side to the other.

Hubble telescope is named after Edwin Hubble. Hubble captures detailed images of celestial objects such as planets, stars, and galaxies. Hubble has collected over one million observations. These include detailed images of star birth and death, galaxies billions of light years away, and comet fragments colliding with Jupiter's atmosphere. It is used for astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics, chemistry and atomic physics research.
