Summary
An artist depicts the binary system LH54-425, which consists of two very massive stars. The larger star’s powerful wind overpowers the smaller star’s wind, creating a region of hot gas where the outflows collide. LH54-425 is in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way about 165,000 light-years from Earth. TIFCredit: NASA illustration by Casey Reed.
