Nebula Trifid (dalam katalog sebagai Messier 20 atau M20 dan sebagai NGC 6514) adalah sebuah wilayah H II berlokasi di Sagittarius. Namanya berarti 'divided into three lobes'. The object is an unusual 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 (the apparent 'gaps' within the emission nebula that cause the trifid appearance; these are also designated Barnard 85). Viewed through a small telescope, the Trifid Nebula is a bright and colorful object, and is thus a perennial favorite of amateur astronomers.[3]
