Abstract

The article focuses on globular clusters and nebulae that are said to lie in the Southern Sagittarius region of galaxy. According to research, the nucleus of the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy (Sgr dSph) is different from a globular cluster called M54. It describes the outer and inner cores of the globular cluster NGC 6723. The author talks about the nebulae collectively called as the R Coronae Australis cloud, which are believed to lie around 400 light-years away.
