大质量的恒星、粗糙的风、尘埃山和充满活力的光塑造了本星系群中最大、最美丽的恒星形成区域之一。这个区域被称为N11，在它的母星系，银河系的邻居大麦哲伦星云（LMC）的许多图像的右上方可见。这张特色图片是由哈勃太空望远镜拍摄的，用于科学目的，并经过重新处理以达到艺术性。虽然上面的图像被称为NGC 1763，但整个N11发射星云在LMC中仅次于狼蛛星云。在图像周围还可以看到环绕着年轻恒星的致密的暗尘埃球。最近，哈勃望远镜对LMC中的变星进行了一项研究，帮助重新校准了可观测宇宙的距离尺度，但结果与使用普遍存在的宇宙微波背景所得到的尺度略有不同。天体物理学家：浏览天体物理学源代码库中的2,700多个代码

Massive stars, abrasive winds, mountains of dust, and energetic light sculpt one of the largest and most picturesque regions of star formation in the Local Group of Galaxies. Known as N11, the region is visible on the upper right of many images of its home galaxy, the Milky Way neighbor known as the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The featured image was taken for scientific purposes by the Hubble Space Telescope and reprocessed for artistry. Although the section imaged above is known as NGC 1763, the entire N11 emission nebula is second in LMC size only to the Tarantula Nebula. Compact globules of dark dust housing emerging young stars are also visible around the image. A recent study of variable stars in the LMC with Hubble has helped to recalibrate the distance scale of the observable universe, but resulted in a slightly different scale than found using the pervasive cosmic microwave background.
