At the center of this image is a massive star 200,000 times brighter than the Sun π Though it may look like a serene cosmic landscape, the Lagoon Nebula is full of turbulent gasses, roaring stellar winds, and intense radiation emanating from a massive star. This massive star is still young in a cosmic sense, roughly 1 million years old, and is throwing off its natal cocoon of material β ionized gasses like hydrogen and nitrogen β seen here from @NASAHubble as red (hydrogen) and green (nitrogen).
