Good morning RP. Today's image is titled "N11: Star Clouds of the LMC." Taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, this perspective of the Large Magellanic Clouds (LMC) was reprocessed for artistry by an amateur to win a Hubble's Hidden Treasures competition. It would have received my vote as well.

Zooming in on N11 in the Large Magellanic Cloud
This zoom sequence begins with a very wide-field view of the southern sky including both the Milky Way and the two Magellanic Clouds. We then close in on a b...
Good morning Maj William W. 'Bill' Price!!! ...and another superb Astronomy Picture of the day viewing the "N11: Star Clouds of the LMC." It is so magnificent that I researched and found a very short clip that takes on right into the eye of the N11 LMC (Large Magellanic Cloud)..., which I include here for your followers!!!

Thank you, my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the daily NASA picture for April 29, 2019 entitled "N11: Star Clouds of the LMC."

"Explanation: Massive stars, abrasive winds, mountains of dust, and energetic light sculpt one of the largest and most picturesque regions of star formation in the Local Group of Galaxies. Known as N11, the region is visible on the upper right of many images of its home galaxy, the Milky Way neighbor known as the Large Magellanic Clouds (LMC). The featured image was taken for scientific purposes by the Hubble Space Telescope and reprocessed for artistry by an amateur to win a Hubble's Hidden Treasures competition. Although the section imaged above is known as NGC 1763, the entire N11 emission nebula is second in LMC size only to the Tarantula Nebula. Compact globules of dark dust housing emerging young stars are also visible around the image. A new study of variable stars in the LMC with Hubble has helped to recalibrate the distance scale of the observable universe, but resulted in a slightly different scale than found using the pervasive cosmic microwave background."
Thank you my friend Sgt (Join to see) for mentioning me.
