Description

The beautiful region of Antares, in the constellation of Scorpio.
The colors of this regions are just surreal. From the intense white/yellow of the Milky Way at the lower left, to the diffusion nebulae on the top right.
The region around Antares, the bright orange star in the center/right, is cooked by some emission nebulae (the red ones), diffusion nebulae (the blue ones) and a nice globular cluster Messier 4.
Filaments of dark clouds are visible from Antares towards the Milky Way.
