NGC 6520 is a young star cluster formed only millions of years ago. Besides, the dark nebula Barnard 86, a molecular cloud, very cold, from which the stars of NGC 6520 surely formed. All around them, oldest stars, which are billions of years old, form the star clouds of Sagittarius in the southern Milky Way and are in orbit around the inner part of the Galaxy. They are cool and yellow.
