N44C is the designation for a region of ionized hydrogen gas surrounding
an association of young stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a
nearby, small companion galaxy to the Milky Way visible from the Southern
Hemisphere. N44C is part of the larger N44 complex, which includes young,
hot, massive stars, nebulae, and a ‘superbubble’ blown out by multiple
supernova explosions.
