Info |
NGC 6188 is located in the
constellation of Ara. It lies in a rich part of the Milky Way south of
Scorpius. This image only shows the heart of the nebulous star forming
area. It extends far greater in wide field images. Like IC 1275
and NGC 6559 nebula complex in Scorpius,
NGC 6188 also is a rich star forming region,
as is evident from the glowing hydrogen gas. This object lies
approximately 4400 L.y. away. |
