Editing Sagittarius (constellation) (section)

==== Star clouds ====
Sagittarius contains two well-known [[star cloud]]s, both considered fine binocular objects.
* The [[Large Sagittarius Star Cloud]] is the brightest visible region of the Milky Way. It is a portion of the central bulge of the galaxy seen around the thick dust of the [[Great Rift (astronomy)|Great Rift]], and is the innermost galactic structure that can be observed in visible wavelengths. It has several embedded clusters and superimposed dark nebulae.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Crossen |first=Craig |date=July 2013 |title=Observing the Milky Way, part I: Sagittarius & Scorpius |journal=Sky & Telescope |volume=126 |issue=1 |language=en|page=24|bibcode=2013S&T...126a..24C }}</ref>
* The [[Small Sagittarius Star Cloud]], also known as Messier 24, has an apparent magnitude of 2.5. The cloud fills a space of significant volume to a depth of 10,000 to 16,000 light-years. Embedded in M24 is [[NGC 6603]], a small star cluster that is very dense. [[NGC 6567]], a dim [[planetary nebula]], and [[Barnard 92]], a [[Bok globule]], are also nearby.{{sfn|Levy|2005|pp=143–144}}
