Journey to Nebula LHA 120-N150 in Dorado | Hubble
This video zooms in on the nebula LHA 120-N150. It begins with a view of the night sky focused on the Large Magellanic Cloud, as seen from the ground. It then zooms through observations from the Digitized Sky Survey 2, which show the whole Tarantula Nebula — in which LHA 120-N150 is located. The video finally ends with a view of the nebula obtained with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
The final image shows a region of space called LHA 120-N150. It is a substructure of the gigantic Tarantula Nebula. The latter is the largest known stellar nursery in the local Universe. The nebula is situated more than 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a neighboring dwarf irregular galaxy that orbits our Milky Way.
