NGC 6334 is a massive emission nebula and star-forming region located in the constellation Scorpius. It is colloquially known as the Cat's Paw Nebula, and can be found 3° to the west-northwest of the bright star Lambda Scorpii.

Jan 23, 2015 · NGC 6334 is one of the most active nurseries of massive stars in our galaxy and has been extensively studied by astronomers. The nebula conceals freshly minted brilliant blue stars — each nearly ten times the mass of our Sun and born in the last few million years.

At 5,500 light years distant, Cat's Paw is an emission nebula with a red color that originates from an abundance of ionized hydrogen atoms. Alternatively known as the Bear Claw Nebula or NGC 6334, stars nearly ten times the mass of our Sun have been born there in …

The nebula NGC 6334 is located above scorpios sting in the constellation Scorpius. The best time to observe it is during the months of March to August, when this part of the constellation is highest above the southern horizon at night.

NGC 6334 is a Supernova Remnant in the Scorpius constellation. NGC 6334 is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere. The image below is a photograph of NGC 6334 from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2 - see the credits section) taken in the red channel. The area of sky ...

NGC 6334 is also known as the Cat’s Paw Nebula or the Bear Claw Nebula and is located in the constellation Scorpius. This very red emission nebula (the Hydrogen emission is many times stronger than any of the other usual lines captured with narrowband filters, OIII or SII) spans about 40×30 arc minutes and was discovered by John Herschel in ...

It is one of the most active stellar nurseries that produce massive stars in the Milky Way. The big bright cloud earned the nickname cat paw because it looks like a giant cat footprint, due to the three bubbles in the image that resemble the pads of its paws.

Jun 18, 2014 · At 5,500 light years distant, Cat's Paw is an emission nebula with a red color that originates from an abundance of ionized hydrogen atoms. Alternatively known as the Bear Claw Nebula or NGC 6334, stars nearly ten times the mass of our Sun have been born there in only the past few million years.
