Star Forming Region LH 95
The Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy to our own, holds a star-forming region named LH 95. This Hubble Space Telescope image lets us see more than just the brightest stars. It captures many of the dimmer, younger, less massive stars, giving us a clearer picture of how stars are born in this chaotic stellar nursery.
