Katzenpfote mit Krieg und Frieden
Cat´s Paw with War and Peace: Close to the tail stars of the constellation of Scorpius, Lesath and Shaula, one finds an extensive region of emission nebulae, the most prominent of which are NGC 6357 (right) and NGC 6334 (left). The latter one is also sometimes called Cat´s Paw Nebula and is in a distance of 5500 LY, NGC 6357 is in a distance of 8000 LY and is often called War and Peace Nebula.
Very dense dust obscures both nebulae, so that visual observation is quite difficult.
