Using the X-ray point sources from the Massive Young star-forming complex Study in Infrared and
X-rays (MYStIX) survey of OB-dominated region, the Lagoon Nebulae (1.3 kpc = app. 4200 ly) is closer than the omega nebulae ( 2.0 kpc = app. 6500 ly) 1v1 lol

I completely agree with your observation. The Lagoon Nebula is indeed closer than the Omega Nebula, with distances of approximately 4200 light-years and 6500 light-years, respectively, as confirmed by studies such as the MYStIX survey. This closer proximity of the Lagoon Nebula allows for more detailed observations of the star-forming processes within its OB-dominated region.
