NGC 6357 هي سديم انتشاري بالقرب من NGC 6334 في كوكبة العقرب. ويضم السديم الكثير من النجوم الأولية تحميها أقراص داكنة من الغاز، نجوم حديثة مغلفة في "شرانق" تتمدد أوغازات متمددة تحيط بتلك النجوم الصغيرة. وتُعهد أيضاً بإسم سديم السلطعون Lobster Nebula‏

وهذا السديم قد أُطلِق عليه أيضاً اسم سديم الحرب والسلام من قِبل فهماء تجربة فضاء منتصف الطريقMidcourse Space Experiment بسبب مظهرها. They said that in infrared images the bright, western part resembles a dove, while the eastern part looks like a skull.

NGC 6357 and Pismis 24

Pismis 24

This nebula includes the open cluster Pismis 24, which is home to several massive stars. One of the brightest stars in the cluster, Pismis 24-1, was thought possibly to be the most massive on record, approaching 300 solar masses, until it was discovered to be a multiple system of at least three stars; component stars would still remain near 100 solar masses, making them among the more massive stars on record.

G353.2+0.7

The young stellar cluster G353.2+0.7 lies east of Pismis 24 and was revealed by a Chandra X-ray image showing approximately 800 stars.

G353.1+0.36

The young stellar cluster G353.1+0.36 lies southeast of Pismis 24 and also contains approximately 800 stars detected by X-ray. The region includes several O-type stars, including [BDSB2003] 10.
