LHA 120-N 55
LHA 120-N 55 is an emission nebula located within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). It is a glowing clump of gas and dust that gets its light output from the hydrogen atoms shedding electrons within it.[1] It was named in 1956, in a catalogue of H-alpha emission line objects in the LMC.[2]
Multiple dense molecular clumps have been detected, at least fifteen of which contain young stellar objects.[3]
