The Trifid Nebula, also known as Messier 20 (M20), is a large star-forming region located in the southern constellation Sagittarius.

The Trifid Nebula is a rare combination of three nebulae types that reveal the fury of freshly formed stars and point to more star birth in the future. The Trifid Nebula, M20 or NGC6514, is a familiar sight and an excellent example of an emission and reflection nebula.
