Interesting areas around the Large Magallenic Cloud

Lots of active star forming areas near the Large Magellanic Cloud taken November 2020 in SHO. Most people turn their attention to the Tarantula nebula for obvious reasons but there are so many other areas of interest that are nearby. I decided to centre on NGC2004 which is a tiny star cluster in the centre of the frame. This gave me the best vantage point to capture the cosmic reef which comprises NGC2014 and NGC2020. NGC2020 is a Hii area surrounding a Wolf-Rayet star. To the right is NGC2035 which is an active star forming region which also contains filaments from past supernova explosions - highlighting the relationship between the death and rebirth stars. To the left is another star forming region with lots of small star clusters. Indeed, the whole frame is full of small star clusters containing newly born stars.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
