A Study of H II Regions and M8We present an overview of the objects in the interstellar medium known as H II regions. These clouds of dust and gas are detected in emission throughout the plane of the galaxy, and are the site of ongoing star formation. We present imagery of one of the more famous H II regions; M8, the Lagoon Nebula. The ionization structure of the nebula is examined and our ground-based imagery is compared to HST (Hubble Space Telescope) archival images of this object.
