Description

I like so much this image because it bring to us how big our galaxy is, every single dot in this image is a star, the dark nebula is blocking the light of the background stars. Besides that, this dark cloud above the ocean of stars in Milky Way bulge is remarkable!

At center there's a open star cluster of young blue stars (NGC 6520), in its side there's a dark nebula (Barnard 86 - B86); this cosmical combination bring to us a beautiful pair.

I hope you like it as I do.
