NGC 2070 is a massive star-forming region located within the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. It contains the prominent stellar cluster R136, which houses some of the most massive and luminous stars known to astronomers. The nebula is a frequent su...
The Cosmic Reef is a nickname for a pair of nebulae, NGC 2014 and NGC 2020, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This star-forming region was featured in a highly detailed composite image released to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope in 2020. NGC 2014 is a massive red ne...
N11 is a massive emission nebula complex situated within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a dwarf satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. It is the second-largest star-forming region in the LMC, following the Tarantula Nebula. The complex is characterized by its bright, ring-like structures and clusters...
N44 is a vast H II emission nebula located within the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. It is particularly notable for its distinctive central void, a cavity measuring dozens of light-years across, which was carved out by intense stellar winds from young, massive st...
NGC 2060 is a star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud's Tarantula complex, notable for containing the supernova remnant N157B.
N49 is a supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud that is notable for containing a soft gamma-ray repeater, an extremely rare type of neutron star.
The N11 Nebula is the Large Magellanic Cloud's second-largest star-forming complex after 30 Doradus and contains several generations of young stars.
30 Doradus C is a superbubble in the Large Magellanic Cloud, inflated by massive stars and supernovae within the larger Tarantula Nebula complex.
The N79 Nebula is a major star-forming complex in the Large Magellanic Cloud, notable for forming massive stars in a relatively unexplored region.
N44 is a superbubble complex in the Large Magellanic Cloud, where winds and supernovae from massive stars have carved a vast cavity in the gas.
The Dragon's Head Nebula, NGC 2035, is an emission nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud, sculpted by winds from young massive stars.
N70 is a superbubble nebula within the Large Magellanic Cloud, notable for its enormous size and the combined stellar winds that created it.
N70 is a roughly circular superbubble in the Large Magellanic Cloud whose shell was excavated by stellar winds and one or more supernovae.
