NGC1760 super bubble in the Large Magellanic Cloud
NGC 1761 (also designated LH9) is composed of about 50 massive hot young stars that emit intense ultraviolet radiation that has eroded a large hole in their surroundings.
These stars are among the most massive stars known anywhere in the Universe. This is the hole in the centre where there are some bright stars showing.
