Inside this photo of the Trifid Nebula, we can see clouds of gas and a star forming area. The three lanes of gas that come together to meet in the center gave the nebula its name. The large star in the center is what provides for most of the glow that is seen when viewing the nebula. The nebula is huge and spans about 10 light years and is only about 300,000 years old.
