The image, captured by ESO's VLT (Very Large Telescope), shows a star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, one of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies. The photograph reveals two particular incandescent gas clouds: NGC 2014, right, red and NGC 2020, its neighbor, in blue. The clouds, although very different from each other, have both been carved by the powerful stellar winds of very hot newborn stars that shine inside the gas making it shine. The image was taken by ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile, the best site in the southern hemisphere for astronomical observations.
