The bright open clusterNGC 6193, visible to the naked eye, is responsible for a region of reflection nebulosity within NGC 6188.[1][2]NGC 6188 is a star forming nebula, and is sculpted by the massive, young stars that have recently formed there – some are only a few million years old. This spark of formation was probably caused when the last batch of stars went supernova.
