Images of 'Large Magellan Cloud' found, 138

Tarantula nebula before the appearance of supernova 1987A - The Tarantula Nebula, before supernova SN1987A - Tarantula Nebula photographed in 1984. Image obtained with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. Supernova 1987A appeared in the constellation Doradus on February 23, 1987. By great good fortune, the star (Sanduleak - 69* 202) which exploded as the supernova, had been observed some years previously and was found to be a typical young, bluish star, much hotter and brighter than stars like the Sun. There are many similar stars in this part of the LMC which is dominated by the spectacular red cloud of the Tarantula Nebula. It in such nebulae that stars are formed, often in compact groups such as those scattered across this photograph, which was taken in 1984
Shooting Star Rain - Leonides - 2001 Leonid Meteor Storm - Shooting Stars and Galaxies of the Great and Small Magellan Cloud. November 19, 2001. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are framed by the amazing meteor storm of 2001 Nov 19. The car above the Large Cloud was nearly as bright as the Full Moon and left a trail which persisted for over ten minutes. This 27 minute composite is made from three 9-minute exposures using a 35 mm Nikkor lens. 2001 Leonid Meteor Storm (Uluru, Australia)
Tarantula Nebula and Supernova 1987A - The Tarantula Nebula and supernova 1987a in the LMC - Tarantula Nebula photographed in 1987, two weeks after the appearance of the 1987A supernova. Image obtained with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. Supernova 1987A appeared in the constellation Doradus on February 23, 1987. The brightest star in this picture is the first supernova to be visible to the unaided eye for almost 400 years. It occured in a region rich in young, blue stars and it was one of these which destroyed itself. When this picture was taken, about 2 weeks after the supernova was discovered, at the end of February, 1987, the expanding shell of material had already changed from blue to orange - red as it cooled. The location of the supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) means that it can only be seen from the southern hemisphere
Paranal Observatory - Chile - Paranal Observatory - Chile - The lactee road above the Paranal Observatory in Chile. 360 degree Panorama of ESO - Paranal Observatory platform. The four 8m (UT) and four 1.8 m (AT) diameter telescopes of the VLT are all observing under the Milky Way arch during this very dark Southern hemisphere spring night. The large (LMC) and small (SMC) Magellanic clouds are visible to the left of the picture while another galaxy, Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is also visible just to the right of UT4. Bright Jupiter is high in the sky. The picture also shows two 'astronomical' lights, the zodiacal light crossing the Milky Way center vertically (just at the left of the middle of the image, above AT3) and the Gegenschein, usually very difficult to observe, below Jupiter on the right hand side of the image
Le Groupe local - The Local Group - The Lactee Way and its neighbors seen from about 700,000 years of light from the Sun. The Local Group contains about 30 galaxies. The position of the Sun is indicated by a red dot. The Milky Way and its neighbors as seen from a location about 700,000 light-years from the Sun. The nearest galaxies are the two Magellanic clouds, beyond them is the spiral galaxy M33. There are about 30 members of the local group but not all show up in this perspective.

Dozens of the brightest Leonid meteors are captured in this 72 minute composite made from eight 9-minute exposures using a 16 mm full frame fisheye lens. To the lower right, the meteor shower radiates from the sickle shaped string of stars in Leo. Orion (center left) appears upside down in this southern hemisphere image with the 'winter' Milky Way. Note the two cars in Taurus (center left) and near the Large Magellanic Cloud (top right). Nov 19 2001
Constellations of the Compsole, Stern, Sails, and Carene - Constellations Pyxis, Puppis, Vela and Carina - These constellations of the southern hemisphere once formed the ancient constellation of Ship Argo. Also visible is the constellation of Flying Fish. This large constellation was one of the 48 constellations described by the ancient astronomer Ptolemy in his Almagest. It is the ship which Argus built for Jason and his crew, the Argonauts, to carry them on their quest for the Golden Fleece. In the 18th century the French astronomer Lacaille divded it into three smaller constellations, Carina the Keel, Puppis the Stern or Poop, and Vela the Sail

Constellations of Reticulum and Dorado - Constellations of Reticulum and Dorado - Constellations of Reticulum and Bream (top) near the galaxy of the Great Magellan Cloud. Reticulum is another small and insignificant southern constellation introduced by Lacaille in the 1750s. It commemorates a reticle, the cross hairs in an eyepiece used for measuring star positions, from the Latin for 'net' (hence reticulation, network). It is best found by looking for the Large Magellanic Cloud in the adjoining constellation of Dorado. Dorado, the Goldfish or Swordfish (Xiphias), is a constellation introduced by Johann Bayer, best known for his 1603 star atlas Uranometria, which was the first to cover the entire sky. It is notable mainly for containing most of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way
Large and Small Magellan Clouds - Large and Small Magellanic clouds - These two irregular galaxies are close to our galaxy. Visible in the southern hemisphere, they are located approximately 160,000 (Grand Cloud, right) and 240,000 light years (Small Cloud, left). The Magellanic Clouds are the nearest galaxies to the Milky Way, about 170,000 and 240,000 light years distant respectively. They are in the far southern sky, practically invisible from northern latitudes, and their low surface brightness makes them difficult to see unless they are high in the sky. Both Magellanic Clouds are less than 25 degrees from the South Celestial Pole and are visible at some time on any clear, dark night from Siding Spring, where this picture was taken. To the dark adapted eye the Magellanic Clouds look like detached pieces of the Milky Way, but this apparent detachment is misleading because both are in orbit around it. Although the Magellanic Clouds are separate galaxies they are interacting with each other and with the Milky Way itself. Already the SMC has been substantially disrupted by this process, and the LMC distorted. Eventually the galaxies will merge with each other and with the Milky Way itself
Globular cluster NGC 1806 in Dorado - Globular cluster NGC 1806 in Dorado - Image of the globular cluster NGC 1806 located in the southern constellation of Dorado. NGC 1806 belongs to the galaxy of the Great Magellan Cloud, a galaxy adjacent to our lactee path. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has turned its sharp eye towards a tight collection of stars, first seen 174 years ago. The result is a sparkling image of NGC 1806, tens of thousands of stars gravitationally bound into a rich cluster. Commonly called globular clusters, most of these objects are very old, having formed in the distant past when the Universe was only a fraction of its current age. NGC 1806 lies within the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way. It can be observed within the constellation of Dorado (the dolphin - fish), an area of the sky best seen from the Earth's southern hemisphere. NGC 1806 was discovered in 1836 by the British astronomer John Herschel. The Wide Field Channel of Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys was used to obtain this picture that was created from images taken through blue (F435W, coloured blue), yellow (F555W, coloured green) and near - infrared (F814W, coloured red) filters. The exposure times were 770 s, 720 s and 688 s, respectively, and the field of view is 3.1 by 1.9 arcminutes

In the background, a companion galaxy and further, the lactee path and the clouds of Magellan. This is an acrylic painting with a few digital additions. It shows the Andromeda Galaxy, M31, the nearest large spiral system to our own Milky Way, which is comparable in size. Looking over the shoulder of the great galaxy, we see one of its small elliptical companion galaxies, then the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds, about two and a half million light years away. In the foreground is one of M31's many orbiting globular star clusters
Artist's view of a fugitive star - A runaway star in the Large Magellanic cloud - The star HE0457 - 5439 is a massive star in the Grand Cloud of Magellan; it is a star escaping from this galaxy at a speed of 2.6 Million km/h Background image obtained at the observatory of La Silla in Chile; the star fleeing has been added on the image. The star HE0457 - 5439 is a massive star wich lies closer to one of the Milky Way satellite galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud, located 160,000 light - years away from us. This is a runaway star, moving at more than 2.6 million kilometers per hour. Astronomers find it likely for the star to have reached its present position had it been ejected from the centre of the LMC. The background image has been obtained at La Silla observatory, the star moving has been added

Milky way all around the horizon - Panorama of 360 degrees. The lactee path blends with the horizon line. In the sky, the three brightest galaxies visible on Earth: the two galaxies of the Magellan Cloud, and opposite it towards the right middle of the image, the galaxy of Andromede. 360 degrees panorama. The following image was taken at new Moon (No Moon light), middle of the night (minimum zodiacal light effect), in the Atacama desert close to Paranal observatory (no light pollution). The chosen place for this picture has the particularity to be located at a latitude which value is close to the declination of the galactic southern pole. The picture was therefore also taken when the galactic pole passes at zenith, ensuring that there is no Milky Way up in the sky. The Large (LMC) and Small (SMC) Magellanic clouds are visible to the left, Orion constellation with Barnard loop to the right, California Nebula and 'tiny' Andromeda galaxy to the right while the Milky Way is visible all around the image on the horizon line
The Large Magellanic Cloud - The Large Magellanic Cloud - The Great Magellan Cloud galaxy is about 160,000 light years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Bream. Visible with the naked eye in the southern hemishere it is one of the closest galaxies to ours. The Large Magellanic Cloud is an irregular galaxy located about 160,000 light years distance from Earth in the constellation Dorado. Visible naked - eye in the night sky of the southern hemisphere, it is one of the closest galaxy from us
Star Cluster NGC 1872 in Dorado - Star Cluster NGC 1872 in Dorado - The NGC 1872 cluster is located in the galaxy of the Great Magellan Cloud. It is a cluster of globular shape, but young, composed of warm, blue stars. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. This Hubble Space Telescope picture shows NGC 1872, a rich cluster of thousands of stars lying in our small neighbouring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. This little - studied cluster is located in the constellation of Dorado. The Scottish astronomer James Dunlop was probably the first to spot NGC 1872 in 1826 with a small telescope near Sydney in Australia. Star clusters are usually classed as either open or globular but NGC 1872 has characteristics of both - - it is as rich as a typical globular but is much younger, and, like many open clusters, has bluer stars. Such intermediate clusters are common in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Irregular Galaxy of the Little Magellan Cloud (NGC 292) - The Small Magellanic Cloud - The galaxy of the Little Magellan Cloud is about 240,000 light years from Earth in the southern constellation of Toucan. It's one of the closest galaxies of the Lactee Way. Two globular clusters are visible in this image, on the right the Toucan cluster, at the top of the galaxy the NGC 362 cluster. Image obtained by the 1.2m UK Schmidt telescope from Siding Spring, Australia. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is the second nearest galaxy to the Milky Way, (the LMC being the nearest) and is at the distance of about 240,000 light years, quite close enough for it to be resolved into individual stars on this colour picture made from plates taken on the UK Schmidt Telescope. The shape of the SMC defies description and it is therefore classified as an 'irregular' galaxy. The large globular cluster at right is 47 Tucanae, while a smaller one at the top of the picture is NGC 362. It is about 30,000 light years distant, twice as far away as 47 Tuc
The Large Magellanic Cloud Irregular Galaxy - The Large Magellanic Cloud - The irregular galaxy of the Great Magellan Cloud is located approximately 160,000 light years away from Earth in the southern constellation of the Sea bream. Visible with the naked eye in the southern hemishere it is one of the closest galaxies to ours. The Large Magellanic cloud is about 160 000 light - years from Earth in the constellation Dorado. Naked - eye visible in the southern hemisphere, it is one of the nearest galaxy
NGC 1850 Star Cluster in Dorado - Double Cluster NGC 1850 in Dorado - The double cluster NGC 1850 is located in the galaxy of the Great Magellan Cloud. It contains a cluster of globular form, but young, 50 million years, in the center of the image and another cluster, at the bottom right, even younger (4 million years), consists of warm and blue stars and a few T - Tauri stars. NGC 1850, imaged here with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, is an unusual double cluster that lies in the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way. After the 30 Doradus complex, NGC 1850 is the brightest star cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is representative of a special class of objects - young, globular - like star clusters - that have no counterpart in our own Galaxy. The two components of the cluster are both relatively young and consist of a main globular - like cluster in the centre and an even younger, smaller cluster, seen below and to the right, composed of extremely hot, blue stars and fainter red T - Tauri stars. The main cluster is about 50 million years old and the smaller cluster is only 4 million years old

Laser shooting at the Paranal Observatory - The VLT Laser Guide Star - View from the LGS (Laser Guide Star), a laser beam launches from the Yepun (UT4) telescope of the VLT. This laser creates an artificial star in the high atmosphere at about 90 km altitude. This repere is analysed and each variation of turbulence in the atmosphere is detected and corrected by the adaptive optics of the telescope. On the left, the two galaxies of the Magellan Cloud, on the right, the dome of the VST (VLT Survey Telescope). A 50 cm wide yellow laser beam is coming out of Yepun, (UT4) of the Very Large Telescope. It is used to create a yellow artificial star at 95 km of altitude which helps the adaptive optics to measure and correct the atmosphere's blurring effect. On the left, the two Magellanic Clouds, on the right, the VST dome
Telescope Yepun - Paranal Observatory, Chile - Yepun and the Magellanic clouds - Paranal Observatory, Chile: The 8,2m diameter telescope Yepun and an auxiliary telescope seen on August 8, 2014. In the sky the clouds of Magellan. The four 8m telescopes telescopes, named Antu (Sun), Kueyen (Moon), Melipal (Southern Cross), and Yepun (Venus) form a very versatile observatory. They can be used as a single large telescope that adds (incoherently) the light from all four, in order to achieve the light gathering ability of a single 16m telescope. Also, their light can be combined in a coherent manner in order to achieve a solving power equivalent to the one of a telescope with a diameter as large as the baseline between the units. Of course, all the telescopes can be used individually, which is usually the default mode of operation

Nebula N159 in the Great Magellan Cloud - N159 star forming region in Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC): N159 is a star-forming region located in the galaxy of the Great Magellan Cloud. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) - This shot from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows a maelstrom of glowing gas and dark dust within one of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). This stormy scene shows a stellar nursery known as N159, an HII region over 150 light-years across. N159 contains many hot young stars. These stars are emitting intense ultraviolet light, which causes nearby hydrogen gas to glow, and torrential stellar winds, which are carving out ridges, arcs, and filaments from the surrounding material. At the heart of this cosmic cloud lies the Papillon Nebula, a butterfly-shaped region of nebulosity. This small, dense object is classified as a High-Excitation Blob, and is thought to be tightly linked to the early stages of massive star formation. N159 is located over 160 000 light-years away. It resides just south of the Tarantula Nebula, another massive star-forming complex within the LMC
Nebula N44 in the Great Magellan Cloud - Henize 44, an emission nebula in the LMC - Vast region of star formation located in the Great Magellan Cloud. Image obtained by the 1.2m Schmidt UK Telescope from Siding Spring. The nearby Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a very active star - forming galaxy. The most massive region of star formation is around 30 Doradus (the Tarantula nebula) which can be seen with the unaided eye, but hundreds of lesser examples are visible with a telescope. This picture shows Henize 44. The energetic ultraviolet light from these stars is absorbed by hydrogen and produces the distinctive red glow from an enormous distance around the cluster. Image obtained with the Schmidt UK telescope of Siding Spring
The Large Magellanic Cloud - The Large Magellanic Cloud - The Great Magellan Cloud galaxy is located about 160,000 light years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Dorado. Visible with the naked eye in the southern hemishere it is one of the closest galaxies to us. It contains large star-forming zones such as the Tarantula Nebula (30 Sea bream, visible to the left), the most active star-forming regions of the local group. Image obtained by the 1.2m UK Schmidt telescope from Siding Spring, Australia. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way but less than one tenth as massive; even so it contains the equivalent of over ten billion solar masses of material in the form of stars, gas and dust. The LMC is at a distance of 160,000 light years and is visible to the unaided eye from southern latitudes, rather like a detached piece of the Milky Way. The nearness of the LMC ensures that it is well resolved into stars in quite a modest telescope, and deep photographs reveal it to be a highly complex system with large numbers of clusters, nebulae and dust clouds scattered apparently at random across the face of the galaxy. The bright red patch at the eastern end of the galaxy is the star - forming region 30 Doradus
Field around the Nebula Henize 55 - The Henize 55 star forming region in the LMC - Henize 55 (NGC 2014), on the right, is a star-forming region located north of the Great Magellan Cloud. Image obtained from the 1.2m Schmidt UK telescope of Siding Spring. The nearby Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a very active star - forming galaxy. The most massive region of star formation is around 30 Doradus (the Tarantula nebula) which can be seen with the unaided eye, but hundreds of lesser examples are visible with a telescope. This picture shows one of the more intriguing, NGC 2014 (Henize 55), at right. It contains cluster of hot, young stars, almost hidden in the brightest part of the nebula. The energetic ultraviolet light from these stars is absorbed by hydrogen and produces the distinctive red glow from an enormous distance around the cluster. This picture was made photographically from three glass plates taken with the UK Schmidt telescope of Siding Spring
Around the Tarantula Nebula - Around the Tarantula nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud - The Tarantula Nebula, NGC 2070, is a vast star-forming region located north of the Great Magellan Cloud galaxy in the southern hemisphere about 170,000 years - light from Earth. Image obtained with the 1.2m Schmidt UK Telescope from Siding Spring. Known as the Tarantula Nebula for its spidery appearance, the 30 Doradus complex is a monstrous stellar factory. It is the largest emission nebula in the sky, and can be seen far down in the southern sky at a distance of about 170,000 light - years, in the southern constellation Dorado. It is part of one of the Milky Way's neighbouring galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Tarantula Nebula contains some of the most massive stars known

In the sky, the three brightest galaxies visible on Earth: the two galaxies of the Magellan Cloud, and opposite it to the top right of the image, the galaxy of Andromede. A laser shot from one of the domes of the VLT is visible as well as the gegenschein, the blade glow consisting of dust reflecting the light of the sun, observable only in a dense sky of any parasite light. A fish-eye view of southern sky in Chile. Milky way is visible along the 360 degrees of the horizon line. Also visible are Gegenschein at zenith, Paranal observatory with Laser Guide Star, and the three brightest galaxies visible on earth (the large Magellanic clouds and Andromeda galaxy)
Around the Tarantula Nebula - Around the Tarantula nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud - The Tarantula Nebula (or 30 Bream) is the largest star-forming region of the Great Magellan Cloud. It is located 170,000 light years ago in the constellation Dorado (southern hemisphere). At the center of this nebula, the open cluster of R136 stars, clusters of hot and massive stars. Image obtained with the 1.2m Schmidt UK Telescope from Siding Spring. In this picture we see the eastern end of the Large Magellanic Cloud where lies one of the most active star formation regions known. If this enormous complex of stars, gas and dust were at the distance of the better - known Orion Nebula the brightest parts of it would visible during the day and would cover a quarter of the sky at night. While the Orion Nebula contains a mere handful of the hot blue stars which energise it, the Tarantula nebula has spawned many thousands in the bright central region, which surrounds a compact, brilliant cluster known as 30 Doradus. Like the Orion Nebula, the 30 Doradus region is a naked eye object for the keen sighted. It is however over one hundred times more distant! Surrounding this nebula is a huge and much fainter series of interlocking bubbles and shells of gas and dust blow away from the center of activity by intense stellar winds and supernova explosions
Milky way all around the horizon and Gegenschein - Fisheye view of the southern sky. The lactee path blends with the horizon line. In the sky, the three brightest galaxies visible on Earth: the two galaxies of the Magellan Cloud, and opposite it towards the right middle of the image, the galaxy of Andromede. Crossing the image on the right, the gegenschein, the blade glow made up of dust reflecting the light of the sun, observable only in a dense sky of any parasite light. The bright spot near the center of the image is Jupiter Planet. The following image was taken at new Moon (No Moon light), middle of the night (minimum zodiacal light effect), in the Atacama desert close to Paranal observatory (no light pollution). The chosen place for this picture has the particularity to be located at a latitude which value is close to the declination of the galactic southern pole. The picture was therefore also taken when the galactic pole passes at zenith, ensuring that there is no Milky Way up in the sky. When all these conditions are met, being very close to what the “” darkest””” sky could be, the very faint Gegenschein becomes visible. Like the zodiacal light, the gegenschein is sunlight reflected by interplanetary dust. Most of this dust is orbiting the sun in about the ecliptic plane. The Gegenschein is clearly visible covering most of the right side of the picture. The Large (LMC) and Small (SMC) Magellanic clouds are visible to the left, Orion constellation with Barnard loop to the top, California Nebula and 'tiny' Andromeda galaxy to the right while the Milky Way is visible all around the image on the horizon line. Bright jupiter is visible near the center of the image and bright red Eta Carina Nebula is rising on the horizon line at the very left
Nebula N70 in the Great Magellan Cloud - The N 70 nebula in Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) - The Henize 70 nebula extends for about 400 years - light, it is located in the Great Magellan Cloud. In the center, a small group of very massive and extremely hot stars, stars of Wolf - Rayet. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. At the centre of this remarkable bubble - like nebula nebula is a small group of extremely hot stars. Some of these stars are rapdly losing mass and have stellar winds blowing from their surfaces with velocities that approach 4000 kilometers per second. Such stars are known as Wolf - Rayet stars and are found in galaxies capable of forming massive stars. There are many such stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) but not all of them are associated with distinctive nebulae. The outward flowing streams of energetic particles from Wolf - Rayet (and other energetic stars) eventually interact with the relatively stationary interstellar medium pervading the LMC, releasing much of their energy as a thin spherical shell of luminous material. The hollow structure accounts for the shape we see in the sky. This nebula is almost 400 light years across, about 100 times the distance from the Sun to the nearest star. The LMC is about 160,000 light years away and is the closest galaxy to the Milky Way

Nebula N44 in the Large Magellan Cloud - Superbubble LHA 120 - N 44 in the Large Magellanic Cloud - This image obtained by the Very Large Telescope (VLT) shows the nebula N44 surrounding the cluster of stars NGC 1929. It is a star-forming region located in the galaxy of the Great Magellan Cloud, about 170,000 light years from Earth. Eso's Very Large Telescope captured this striking view of the nebula around the star cluster NGC 1929 within the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way. A colossal example of what astronomers call a superbubble dominates this stellar nursery. It is being carved by the winds from bright young stars and the shockwaves from supernova explosions. This nebula is officially known as LHA 120 - N 44, or just N 44 for short. Hot young stars in NGC 1929 are emitting intense ultraviolet light and causing the gas to glow. This effect highlights the aptly - named superbubble, a vast shell of material around 325 by 250 light - years across. For comparison, the nearest star to our Sun is just over four light - years distant. The N 44 superbubble has been produced by the combination of two processes. Firstly, stellar winds - - streams of charged particles from the very hot and massive stars in the central cluster - - cleared out the central region. Then massive cluster stars exploded as supernovae creating shockwaves and pushing the gas out further to form the glowing bubble. Although the superbubble is shaped by destructive forces, new stars are forming around the edges where the gas is being compressed. Like recycling on a cosmic scale, this next generation of stars will breathe fresh life into NGC 1929

Image obtained with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. Known as the Tarantula Nebula for its spidery appearance, the 30 Doradus complex is a monstrous stellar factory. It is the largest emission nebula in the sky, and can be seen far down in the southern sky at a distance of about 170,000 light - years, in the southern constellation Dorado. It is part of one of the Milky Way's neighbouring galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Tarantula Nebula contains some of the most massive stars known
Carene Constellation and Southern Constellation - Constellation of Carina and southern constellations - The constellation of Carene, the Great Magellan Cloud, the southern Celestial pole, and the star Canopus. This part of the sky is best seen in the early evening between April and June. Carina the Keel, is a remnant of Argo Navis, a giant mythical sailing vessel afloat on the southern Milky Way, described elsewhere. The constellation is a delight for southern hemisphere observers, with many star clusters and nebulae visible in binoculars or modest telescopes. Some of these are quite spectacular in a large telescope. The second brightest star in the sky, Canopus (a Car) is here as is Eta Carinae, one of the most massive and unstable stars in the Galaxy. Eta is hidden in the most conspicuous nebula in Carina, NGC 3372, the Great Carina nebula. This photograph also shows the location of the south celestial pole and the Large Magellanic Cloud as well as several complete or almost complete constellations, including Apus, Chameleon, Crux, Dorado, Mensa, Musca, Octans, Pictor and Volans

Tarantula (NGC 2070) in the LMC - The nebula around 30 Doradus (NGC 2070) in the LMC - The Tarantula Nebula (or 30 Bream) is the largest star-forming region of the Great Magellan Cloud. It is located 170,000 light years ago in the constellation Dorado (southern hemisphere). At the center of this nebula, the open cluster of R136 stars, clusters of hot and massive stars. Image obtained with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. The brightest cluster of stars in this picture was believed until recently to contain a single, uniquely massive object with the mass equivalent to 1000 suns, and was named as a star, 30 Doradus. Sophisticated image analysis techniques have been used to show that 30 Doradus is a very compact group of stars, many of which are massive, but not unimaginably so. The radiation from this star cluster is sufficient to excite a huge cloud of hydrogen gas in its vicinity so that it glows with its distinctive red colour. This picture is essentially a one minute exposure. A longer exposure would show that the curving tendrils of nebulosity are the brightest parts of the huge Tarantula nebula, one of the largest star - forming regions known anywhere
Constellation of Carene - Constellation of Carina - The constellation of Carene, the Great Magellan Cloud, the southern Celestial pole, and the star Canopus. This part of the sky is best seen in the early evening between April and June. Carina the Keel, is a remnant of Argo Navis, a giant mythical sailing vessel afloat on the southern Milky Way, described elsewhere. The constellation is a delight for southern hemisphere observers, with many star clusters and nebulae visible in binoculars or modest telescopes. Some of these are quite spectacular in a large telescope. The second brightest star in the sky, Canopus (a Car) is here as is Eta Carinae, one of the most massive and unstable stars in the Galaxy. Eta is hidden in the most conspicuous nebula in Carina, NGC 3372, the Great Carina nebula. This photograph also shows the location of the south celestial pole and the Large Magellanic Cloud as well as several complete or almost complete constellations, including Apus, Chameleon, Crux, Dorado, Mensa, Musca, Octans, Pictor and Volans
Tarantula Nebula (NGC 2070) in the river bream - The Tarantula Nebula, around the 30 Dor cluster - The Tarantula Nebula (or 30 Bream) is the largest star-forming region of the Great Magellan Cloud. It is located 170,000 light years ago in the constellation Dorado (southern hemisphere). At the center of this nebula, the open cluster of R136 stars, clusters of hot and massive stars. Image obtained with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. This object is the only extra - galactic nebula which can be seen with the unaided eye. It is a faint patch of light at the eastern end of the Large Magellanic Cloud, 170,000 light years distant. A small telescope reveals narrow spindly tendrils of glowing gas which have been likened to the legs of a spider. The 'body' of the spider is the bright nebula seen at the centre of the photograph, while at its core is an extremely dense clump of very hot stars, until recently thought to a single, unusually massive star known as 30 Doradus. The very hot stars of 30 Dor are responsible for making the nebula visible
