Description

NGC 6357 is a diffuse nebula near NGC 6334 in the constellation Scorpius. The nebula contains many proto-stars shielded by dark discs of gas, and young stars wrapped in expanding "cocoons" or expanding gases surrounding these small stars. This is the close up version by CDK17 and the full version of Lobster Nebula may need to wait for the mosaic version later on.
