N11: A Giant Ring of Emission Nebulas
NASA APOD · C. Smith
COSMIC MESSAGE
How did this unusually large nebula form? One of the largest nebulas yet detected, N11, is actually a complex ring of emission nebulas connected by glowing filaments. The network spans over 1000 light-years and is a prominent structure of the Large Magellanic Cloud, the largest satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. In the center is open star cluster LH9, also known as NGC 1760, composed of about 50 bright blue stars. Their radiation has eroded a large cavity in the nebula.
