Henize 70 | Super Bubble | LHaRGB

From the Wiki…

The Henize 70 Super Bubble is located approximately 170,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Seabream, and is within the Large Magellanic Cloud. A superbubble or supershell is a cavity which is hundreds of light years across and is populated with hot gas atoms, less dense than the surrounding interstellar medium, blown against that medium and carved out by multiple supernovae and stellar winds. The winds, passage and gravity of newly born stars strip superbubbles of any other dust or gas.

 

Thanks for looking, take care.
