The Fighting Dragons Nebula is an emission nebula located 4,000 light-years away from us.

The shapes of this nebula are formed by the stellar wind and ultraviolet radiation produced by the relatively young stars of the Ara OB1 association.


Above this nebula lies the star cluster NGC 6193, the brightest star of which is a triple star with a temperature of over 46,000 degrees Celsius!


Below the nebula is a second unusual nebula called the Dragon's Egg, and it is a bipolar nebula, composed primarily of elements found primarily in the interiors of stars, likely formed by two stars merging into one and scattering stellar material in the process. This nebula lies 4,200 light-years away and is 4.2 light-years across.

The Fighting Dragons nebula is about 300 light-years across and is not visible in the sky from Poland.
