Small Field in NGC 1763 Copyright: NASA, ESA, Josh Lake This was the winning image in the 2012 Hubble’s Hidden Treasures contest. It is processed from data freely available in the Hubble Legacy Archive. It is an image of a small portion of the N11 star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud. A representative color combination from the hydrogen and nitrogen data reveals a dark, dusty filament on a backdrop of glowing gas.
