NGC 2020 and 2014

NGC2020 and NGC 2014 found in the Large Magellanic cloud the circular object blue nebula (NGC 2020)has been shaped by a solitary mammoth star. This young, massive star, called a Wolf-Rayet, has ejected its outer layers of gas, exposing its searing-hot core,making it roughly 200,000 times brighter than our Sun. It's not even in our galaxy!
