Abstract

Look about midway between the stinger stars of Scorpius and the spout of the Sagittarius Teapot and you'll see an obvious naked-eye clump in the Milky Way, which for the last 259 years we've known as the open cluster M7. M7 is located in a wonderfully rich Milky Way field intertwined with dark nebulae, as well as three other open clusters that overlap or touch its boundaries. OBSERVING It's a lovely summer evening, and as the sky transforms from blue to black, the central portion of the Milky Way becomes visible. [Extracted from the article]
