The brightly glowing plumes seen in this image are reminiscent of an
underwater scene, with turquoise-tinted currents and nebulous strands
reaching out into the surroundings. However, this is no ocean. This image
actually shows part of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a small nearby
galaxy that orbits our galaxy, the Milky Way, and appears as a blurred blob
in our skies. The NASA/European Space Agency (ESA) Hubble Space Telescope
has peeked many times into this galaxy, releasing stunning images of the
whirling clouds of gas and sparkling stars (opo9944a, heic1301, potw1408a).
This image shows part of the Tarantula Nebula's outskirts. This famously
beautiful nebula, located within the LMC, is a frequent target for Hubble
(heic1206, heic1402).  In most images of the LMC the color is completely
different to that seen here. This is because, in this new image, a different
set of filters was used. The customary R filter, which selects the red
light, was replaced by a filter letting through the near-infrared light. In
traditional images, the hydrogen gas appears pink because it shines most
brightly in the red. Here however, other less prominent emission lines
dominate in the blue and green filters. This data is part of the Archival
Pure Parallel Project (APPP), a project that gathered together and processed
over 1,000 images taken using Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2,
obtained in parallel with other Hubble instruments. Much of the data in the
project could be used to study a wide range of astronomical topics,
including gravitational lensing and cosmic shear, exploring distant
star-forming galaxies, supplementing observations in other wavelength ranges
with optical data, and examining star populations from stellar heavyweights
all the way down to solar-mass stars. Image Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA:
