“When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

The star-forming Trifid Nebula, also known as Messier 20, as imaged by NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory. The Trifid Nebula is an unusual combination of an open cluster of stars, an emission nebula (the pink region), a reflection nebula (the blue region), and a dark nebula (the dark regions).Credit: RubinObs/NOIRLab/SLAC/NSF/DOE/AURA
