The Hubble Space Telescope Captures Mesmerising Stellar Grouping In Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).
The Hubble Telescope has produced mesmerising photographs of the cosmos. Every year, the observatory records breathtaking images, and now we’re going to look into the stellar group NGC 2040 that NASA recently shared on its twitter account.
If you look closely at the image, you can see that the bright stars that appear to be shining through what appears to be a fog in the night sky are actually a young stellar grouping that is located in one of the largest known star formation regions of the Milky Way’s dwarf satellite galaxy known as the Large Magellanic Cloud. Astronomers refer to the cluster of stars as NGC 2040 or LH 88. According to a NASA statement, it is basically a really loose star cluster where stars have a common origin and are travelling throughout space together.
NGC 2040 is part of an OB cluster, a collection of high-mass stars with brief but luminous lives that typically contains 10 to 100 stars of type O and B.
A massive nebula of partially ionised hydrogen gas, known as LMC 4, and many high-mass newborn stars make up NGC 2040, which is located in what is believed to be a supergiant gas shell.
