Summary

[edit]
Description
English: ESO's Very Large Telescope has captured a detailed view of a star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud — one of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies. This sharp image reveals two glowing clouds of gas. NGC 2014 (right) is irregularly shaped and red and its neighbour, NGC 2020, is round and blue. These odd and very different forms were both sculpted by powerful stellar winds from extremely hot newborn stars that also radiate into the gas, causing it to glow brightly.
Українська: Дуже Великий Телескоп захопив докладне зображення області зореутворення у Великій Магеллановій Хмарі - одній із галактик-супутників нашого Чумацького Шляху. Це дуже виразне зображення показує дві сяючі газові хмари: праворуч неправильної форми червона туманність NGC 2014, а ліворуч округла блакитна туманність NGC 2020. Ці дивні та дуже різні форми були витворені, наче скульптором, потужними зоряними вітрами від дуже гарячих молодих зірок, які також опромінюють газ, змушуючи його світитись яскравіше.
