Ancient shells.

[Peter Ward]

Thought I needed to re-visit this vista, which on this occasion
new starless tools better revealed subtle and delicate structures from the noisy stars.

oh I think this has to be one of my favourite LMC images to date. Love the interpretation, and the blue is just perfect. Gorgeous image of my favourite patch of sky. Nice one, Peter.

Yeah wow that’s beautiful. The starless blue really sets the scene. Stunning contrast and clarity

[Peter Ward]

Thank guys. The original image is around 9000 x 9000 pixels and shows
many fine scale structures hinted at in this web friendly version.

Given the number of SN shells, makes you wonder when the next firecracker
will go off :question:

The LMC is one region I do keep coming back to, there is so many nebula in there! The blue monochrome is interesting, not my preference but there certainly is a lot of detail showing in all those shells!

I’m guessing 2087 for the next one, average of 1 per galaxy per 100 years!

A great image. I've often wondered why there are so many remnants of supernovae in the LMC. Does anyone know?

A lot of big bangs there :)
