Barnard 86 is a dense molecular cloud visible as a prominent dark patch in the direction toward the galactic centre.
Next to it lies the brilliant young cluster NGC 6520. It most likely condensed out of this cloud only a few million years ago. Also visible is the heavily obscured globular cluster Djorg 2 near the left edge of the image.
The background is a rich blanket of tens of thousands of stars in the Milky Way’s central bulge. Among them a couple of deep red carbon stars stand out, for example one half way between Barnard 86 and Djorg 2.

Megan Matsuoka made this poster as part of a self-imposed challenge called 100 Posters in 100 Days. “To boost my creativity, practice my design skills, and learn to not over think too much - I’ve set myself a goal to create a 100 Posters in 100 Days,” she says. “I have chosen to use inspirational quotes as my content.”
Her only rule was that she had to create each one within an hour.
