Pan Across NGC 2014 & NGC 2020

This video pans across a diverse landscape of colorful, iridescent gases, streamers of dust, and a plethora of brilliant newborn stars in the nebula NGC 2014, located 163,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. The camera then sweeps toward a blue ring of glowing oxygen in neighboring nebula NGC 2020. The blue gas is formed by a torrential gaseous outflow from a lone, massive, super-hot star at its center.

I agree wholeheartedly. I still have a Terence Dickinson astronomy book I bought when I was just a little girl because I love the illustrations in it so much(it's a good book, but a lot of the information is obviously outdated). My favorite illustration is a view of the Milky Way galaxy in the night sky from an imaginary planet somewhere in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The planet is rocky, but there is a large, beautiful ocean in the foreground, at the horizon. The Milky Way is rising at the horizon, making the ocean look like sparkling silver(along with the help of other nearby stars in the sky). My lackluster description does no justice to the actual illustration. Even after 29 years of having this book, I still get goosebumps every time I look at this picture lol. I have been obsessed with the LMC ever since. The whimsical side of me desperately wishes that that planet is real and is home to many oceans, beaches, forests, mountains, and all kinds of life. Sadly, the logical side of me begins to doubt such a planet could exist more and more with each new bit of information I read or watch about the LMC.

Sounds interesting. Terence D. As it appears has published several books in the subject. Can you please give me an exact name or year so I might by it for my little girl. Thank you.

@@bearlemley it's called Exploring The Night Sky- The Equinox Astronomy Guide For Beginners
It was originally published in 1987, but there was a revised copy published in 1998 with some updated information. John Bianchi is the name of the illustrator.
I had a number of Terence Dickinson books when I was younger. He does a great job of making astronomy accessible to kids and adult amateurs alike.
