The ethereal star-forming region LH 95 is part of the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way. Here, low-mass infant stars as well as massive stars reside. The blue haze that engulfs the region highlights how the largest stars within LH 95, some with three times the mass of the Sun, can generate strong stellar winds and high levels of ultraviolet radiation. LH 95 is just one of hundreds of star-forming systems, also called associations, which are located about 16

A starry start to your week ✨ In this Hubble view, bright blue stars are blowing a cavity into the center of a star-forming region in the Small Magellanic Cloud, which is one of our Milky Way Galaxy’s closest cosmic neighbors! Located in the constellation Tucana, the Small Magellanic Cloud is roughly 200,000 light-years from the Earth. Its proximity to us makes it an ideal laboratory to perform in-depth studies of star formation processes and their evolution in an environment slightly different
