This image shows the Fighting dragons in the constellation of Ara (NGC 6188) and the dragon`s egg (NGC 6164). It`s an emission nebula located about 4,000 light years away from earth. Due to its hydrogen-rich clouds, NGC 6188 is a region of active star formation, and its structure is shaped by the powerful stellar winds of the young and massive stars within. The glowing bipolar planetary nebula, NGC 6164, is visible at the bottom of the frame, which many refer to as the "dragon's egg". Took it in Namibia and it`s an RGBHOO Image.
