The Star Formation Region NGC 2035 | ESO
The Large Magellanic Cloud is one of the closest galaxies to our own. Astronomers have used the power of the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) to explore NGC 2035, one of its lesser known regions, in great detail. This image shows clouds of gas and dust where hot new stars are being born and are sculpting their surroundings into odd shapes. However, the image also shows the effects of stellar death—filaments created by a supernova explosion (left).
