NASA’s Hubble pops in on a ‘superbubble’
At a spry 36-years-young, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope just keeps on going. The groundbreaking observatory recently took a new image of a sprawling nebula located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The LMC is the largest of the small galaxies that orbit our home Milky Way galaxy, and it’s only 160,000 light-years away. Since it is relatively close by, astronomers can more easily observe star birth hot spots like LHA 120-N44 (or N44). N…

NASA and the ESA said the vast central void seen above measures around 210 by 140 light-years in area, and was likely created by the stars visible at its centre. Read more: Hubble Space Telescope captures nebula ‘superbubble’
Hubble Telescope sees spectacular 'superbubble' | Space photo of the day for Sept. 4, 2026
The Hubble Space Telescope has spotted a spectacular 'super bubble' in our Milky Way's nearest neighbor the Large Magellanic Cloud. Check out our space photo of the day.
At the NASA Observatory, new images of the LHA 120-N44 (N44) galactic nebula were obtained from the Nubble Space Telescope in the constellation Golden Fish, located in the Greater Magellan Cloud, the largest small galaxy orbiting around the Milky Way.
