The Omega Nebula is a blue, red and purple nebula located in the constellation Sagittarius at a distance of app. 5.500 LY from Earth. It is a low-density cloud of partially ionized gas which spans some 15 light-years in diameter and has a mass of an estimated 800 solar masses.
The nebula was discovered by Philippe Loys de Chéseaux in 1745 and Charles Messier catalogued it in 1764. But the name of the nebula was added somewhat later. The first attempt to accurately draw the nebula (as part of a series of sketches of nebulae) was made by John Herschel in 1833, and published in 1836. He described the nebula as such: "The figure of this nebula is nearly that of a Greek capital omega, Ω, somewhat distorted, and very unequally bright."
The Omega Nebula has been used as a waypoint for several major expeditions, including the Sagittarius-Carina Mission and the Distant Worlds Expedition.
