The Large Magellanic Cloud's LH 95 Star-forming Region | Hubble Space Telescope

The first two photos are from the Hubble Space Telescope and show a star forming region called LH 95 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). This sharp image reveals a large number of low-mass infant stars coexisting with young massive stars. The third photo reveals part of the LMC centered on LH 95. This image is a color composite taken by the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS), the field of view is 3.0x2.7 degrees.

Distance from Earth: 150,000 light years

The Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) is a ground-based imaging survey of the entire sky in several colors of light produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute through its Guide Star Survey group.
