N50, N51 This image is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud which is a small satellite galaxy of the Milky Way located about 160,000 light years from Earth in the Dorado constellation in the deep southern sky. The N51 complex in the center, left of the image has bright blue stars carving out dust and exciting Hydrogen(red) and Oxygen(blue) emissions. The right part of the image is N50. The upper,center part of the image is a supernova remnant. The burning red intensity of the nebulae structure illuminates the fine lines of gas and dark dust, each spanning many light-years. There are 236 nebulas in the LMC which are given N designations. The Red color in the image comes from  Hydrogen atom emission, Blue from Oxygen emissions and Green from sulfur emissions.
