Scutum Star Cloud, 1892. This region of the Milky Way is centred around the M11 open star cluster (just above centre). This is a bright patch of the Milky Way in the faint constellation Scutum. The Milky Way is our galaxy seen from within, which makes it appear as a band of light crossing the sky. Observed by E. E. Barnard (US astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard) from the Lick Observatory, USA, on 29 June 1892. | |
