Description:
The Northern Trifid Nebula (NGC 1579). The interesting thing about this nebula is the dark dust lanes running through the nebula and the reddish color as a result of the light from a massive star(s) behind the dust which scatters light in the red spectrum, similar to the Sun as it sets. This nebula is located in the constellation Perseus and is approximately 2400 light-years away.
