Journey into the Cosmic Reef
The nebular cloud NGC 2014, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, appears to some like an ocean reef in the sky. The Hubble Space Telescope took a detailed image of this distant nebula to commemorate 30 years of investigating the cosmos. Data and images have been combined into a three-dimensional model.
