Description

NGC 6188 is an emission nebula located about 4,000 light years away in the constellation Ara.
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.
