Image release June 22, 2010A spectacular new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image one of the largest ever released of a star-forming region highlights N11, part of a complex network of gas clouds and star clusters within our neighbouring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. This region of energetic star formation is one of the most active in the nearby Universe.The Large Magellanic Cloud contains many bright bubbles of glowing gas. One of the largest and most spectacular has the name LHA 120-N 11, from its listing in a catalogue compiled by the American astronomer and astronaut Karl Henize in 1956, and is informally known as N11. Close up, the billowing pink clouds of glowing gas make N11 resemble a puffy swirl of fairground candy floss. From further away, its distinctive overall shape led some observers to nickname it the Bean Nebula. The dramatic and colourful features visible in the nebula are the telltale signs of star formation. N11 is a well-studied region that extends ove

May 17, 2007 - This image from the Spitzer Space Telescope shows infant stars hatching in the head of the hunter constellation, Orion. Astronomers suspect that shockwaves from a supernova explosion in Orion's head, nearly three million years ago, may have initiated this newfound birth The region featured in this Spitzer image is called Barnard 30. It is located approximately 1,300 light-years away and sits on the right side of Orion's head, just north of the massive star Lambda Orionis. This

In the NGC 6559 complex, an area just east of M8 (the Lagoon Nebula), we see a mix of various nebulas; the dark nebula is Barnard 303 while the nebulas towards the top of the image are IC1274, 1275, & 4684. NGC 6559 itself is the bright red nebula at the bottom.

The large, loose and bright open cluster NGC 6871 (centre) in central Cygnus in a rich starfield of the Milky Way. The red nebula at right is Sh2-101. However, the field is laced with faint nebulosity. The sparse open cluster NGC 6883 is at left, but is hard to distinguish from the background starfield. Taken on a slightly hazy night with some frames taken through thin cloud, thus the natural glows on bright stars.This is a stack of 10 x 6 minute exposures at ISO 1600 with the filter-modified

The Lambda Centauri complex, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula IC 2948 (at left) and above it the Pearl Cluster (NGC 3766). Just right of centre is the open cluster IC 2714 ad below it the small barely resolve cluster Mel 105. To the upper right is the nebula complex NGC 3576/81. This is a rich area of sky to explore with binoculars or a low-power telescope with exccellent contrasts between rich starfields and dark nebulas. This is a stack of 4 x 10 minute exposures at f/4.3 with the B
