Becklin–Neugebauer Object

The Becklin–Neugebauer Object (BNO) is an astronomical object located in the constellation Sagittarius. It is notable for being one of the first examples of a young, luminous, massive star system discovered. The object is part of a larger region of star formation and is embedded within a dense molecular cloud. BNO is particularly interesting because it is a very bright infrared source, which indicates that it is surrounded by a significant amount of dust that obscures it from view in optical wavelengths.
