A Star Forming Region in the LMC
Stars form in colorful regions, like this one in the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy. Newly formed stars can energize their surroundings in several ways. They might develop strong winds that push away gas, or their intense light can boil away nearby dust. Very massive stars eventually go supernova, returning their elements to the interstellar medium.
