“The N44 Superbubble” is copyrighted by Gemini Obs.. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe vast emission nebula N44 in our neighboring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, has a large, 250-light-year hole, and astronomers are trying to figure out why. One possibility is particle winds expelled by massive stars in the bubble's interior that are pushing out the glowing gas. However, this answer was found to be inconsistent with measured wind velocities. Another possibility is that the expanding shells of old supernovas have sculpted the unusual space.
