Summary
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of LH 95, a stellar nursery in the Large Magellanic Cloud (a dwarf galaxy orbiting the Milky Way). The image shows blue and white stars shining against a crimson background of glowing gas. The region contains a stellar association where low-mass infant stars coexist with massive blue giant stars, some at least three times the mass of the Sun.
