This image is of Messier 20 and 21. Even though this looks more like a strawberry bursting in the galaxy its actually a nebula. The very big pink nebula is Messier 20 and is also called The Trifid Nebula. What makes messier 20 seem pink is the natal dust and gas clouds which is needed to form new stars. In the top right of the picture is Messier 21. They are both located in the constellation Sagittarius which we recently had a quiz on. Sagittarius also means archer. Messier 21 is around 8 million years older then Messier 20. Messier 20 is only 300,000 years old making it one of the youngest stars in our sky!
