Description
Emission nebula N119. Optical image of the emission nebula N119 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). This nebula has an unusual spiral shape, and may be the result of a collision between gas clouds. The red colour comes from ionised hydrogen, a so-called HII region. This image was made with the Wide Field Imager camera on the Max Planck Telescope at La Silla Observatory, Chile.
