Henize 206  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to:
navigation, search  Henize 206[p] is a nebula in the Large
Magellanic Cloud.[1] This luminous cloud of gas and dust houses
a cluster of newborn stars. Although Henize 206 was first
catalogued in the 1950s, it was reported in NASA press releases
in March 2004, for showing several example images generated from
the various infrared cameras on the Spitzer Space Telescope
launched in August 2003.[1]   The nebula, Henize 206, and the
scattered remnants of the exploding star that created it,[1] are
pictured in detail in images from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope
(see image below). Henize 206 lies in a satellite galaxy outside
the Milky Way galaxy, nearly 163,000 light-years away, called
the Large Magellanic Cloud. The nebula is home to hundreds and
possibly thousands of stars, ranging in age from two to 10
million years old.[1]  Nebula Henize 206 viewed by different
