Lagoon Nebula

110 LIGHT YEARS

“Lagoon” is what you name a nebula that doesn’t look like anything. This amorphous nebula is actually pretty close to us, as far as nebulas go — only 4,100 light years away. It’s one of only two nebulae visible to the naked eye (from the northern hemisphere), but it’s pretty dim so don’t get your hopes up.
