The Entire Large Magellanic Cloud With Annotations (Ground Based Image)

From ground-based telescopes, the glowing gaseous debris surrounding dying, sun-like stars in a nearby galaxy, called the Large Magellanic Cloud, appear as small, shapeless dots of light.

This wide field view of part of the Large Magellanic Cloud includes the location of the N11 star formation region. This image was created from digitised photographs through red and blue filters. The field of view is about three degrees...

This ground-based image of the Large Magellanic Cloud was taken by the German astrophotographer Eckhard Slawik. It spans 10 x 10 degrees. Just to the left of the middle of this image the largest star-forming region in the Local Group of...

From ground-based telescopes, the glowing gaseous debris surrounding dying, sun-like stars in a nearby galaxy, called the Large Magellanic Cloud, appear as small, shapeless dots of light. But through the 'eyes' of the Hubble Space...

An image of a Large Magellanic Cloud.

A NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope view of a turbulent cauldron of starbirth, called N159, taking place 170, 000 light-years away in our satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Torrential stellar winds from hot newborn massive...

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has peered at a small area within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) to provide the deepest colour picture ever obtained in that satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way.

Glittering stars and wisps of gas create a breathtaking backdrop for the self-destruction of a massive star, called supernova 1987A, in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby galaxy. Astronomers in the Southern hemisphere witnessed the...

An image of the Large Magellanic Cloud.

The two-colour image shows an overview of the full Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and was composed from two images from the Digitized Sky Survey 2. The field of view is slightly larger than 3.5. N66 with the open star cluster NGC346 is the...
