M20 - The Trifid Nebula
A combination of an open cluster of stars, an emission nebula (the lower, red portion), a reflection nebula (the upper, blue portion) and a dark nebula (which accounts for the gaps dividing the nebula into lobes).  About 5000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius.
